Specification:
| Field of View with TEC APO140ED (at f/5): |
| 2.0" (50 mm) 18.0 x 13.5 mm 22.3 x 14.9 mm 36 x 24 mm 36.8 x 36.8 mm | Scope | Part Code | Backfocus Spacer | Spacing with Bf. S. | Spacing without Bf. S. | | AP 130 GTX | QUADTCC-AP130 | 22.1 mm | 80.8 mm | 102.9 mm | | TEC 140 | QUADTCC-TEC140 | 18.3 mm | 80.8 mm | 99.1 mm | | TEC 160 | QUADTCC-TEC160 | 17.0 mm | 80.8 mm | 97.8 mm | | TEC 180 | QUADTCC-TEC180 | 16.0 mm | 80.8 mm | 96.8 mm | | Important Note: When purchasing the QuadTCC the proper length Backfocus Spacer is included for the scope specified. However, when ordering the QuadTCC for a TEC scope you will also need to order a Drawtube Endcap (S35RFAA) for the focuser (see part listing below). This only applies to the TEC focusers. This part is integral to the Astro-Physics 3.5" focusers and is not needed as a separate purchase. |
| If you have multiple scopes from the list above and wish to purchase a Backfocus Spacer separately in order to use the QuadTCC on the different scopes, below are the spacers listed by length (reference the table above) and corresponding part number. | | Backfocus Spacer Length | Part Number | | 22.1 mm | A5020 | | 18.3 mm | A2680 | | 17.0 mm | A5022 | | 16.0 mm | A5023 |
| 4.1° (245 min.) 1.5° x 1.1° (88 x 63 min.) 1.8 ° x 1.2° (110 x 73 min.) 3.0° x 2.0° (177 x 121 min.) 3.0° x 3.0° (177 x 177 min.) |
