Celestron RASA 8 flare reducing ring

thingiverse

This is a aperture reducing ring for the Celestron RASA 8 Some Celestron RASA 8 users have complained about issues with bad flaring on their RASA 8 Telescopes and this ring is only meant for a temporary work around not a permanent solution. If you suspect that your RASA suffers from these unwanted flares this ring can reduce or eliminate them You should work directly with celestron if you suspect your RASA 8 has this issue This ring reduces the 203mm aperture down to anywhere from 200mm to 190mm depending on the ring printed reducing the effect from the edge of the mirror where the issue is suspected to be on some RASA 8 scopes This ring slides down into place and then can be rotated under the two pins for holding the cap. do not force this ring into place If the ring doesn't fit right on your scope please make any height adjustments needed in your slicing software and reprint Test print was with PLA and supports on to handle the overhang on the bottom of the bracket to clear the celestron trim ring mounting screws This is a work in progress and design may be changed at anytime
