Coronado BF30 construction?

Post by Merlin66 »

The newer Coronado BF30 seems to come in two parts......
The 2" section with a full sized ITF rejection filter
and the 1.25" diagonal with a 30mm blocking filter...
Is this correct? Are there any other filters in the assembly??

Ken there was a thread in the Commercial scopes and equipment section regarding the two part BF30. I'm not sure how to provide a link to it, but if you do a search for 'Coronado BF30 too bright' by FRAZ, you should find it.

Thanks Gus!
Found Frederics report on the BF30

(The one I'm looking at doesn't seem to have the Red/IR pass element, but does have what looks like a small (15mm) ITF at the nose of the diagonal (like the BF10 etc) - just doesn't feel right!!!
