      Hi Massimo,
      first of all thank you for the precise and complete clarification.
      My RC is not a lattice model but it is a closed tube, So now I ask, definitely would agree to remove the lens hood? This I ask because in the flat I have a strange vignetting that I can not solve and the last resort is just the hood. In the flat you see a black hole at the center and the edges of all white. Obviously I worked to rule out other causes, and none of the solutions has therefore worked my doubt focused on the lens hood.
      Thank you
      Antonino

        If the back focus we mean by the center of the mirror is 230 mm

          Hi Massimo,
          the data I have known at the time of the system are as follows:

          mirror Diameter: 510 mm
          Diameter Secondary Mirror: 178 mm
          Hole diameter primary mirror: 114 mm
          Distance between primary and secondary: 1150 mm
          primary hood Length: 350 mm
          Primary hood diameter: 80 mm
          Secondary hood Length: 95 mm
          Secondary hood diameter: me 178 mm max 194 mm
          Backfocus: 150 mm

          I wonder what you think about and if it is possible to extract useful data to optimize the system.
          Thank you

            Thank you for your prompt response.
            Unfortunately I do not find the required data as the manufacturer of the mirror is not provided me with its datasheets.
            Since I'm trying to optimize the system because I think there are several errors, both optical and mechanical to be corrected, I am now stuck. How I could rtovare the effective focal both the primary mirror and secondary? :bye:
