The TS GPU Aplanatic Newtonian Coma Corrector for Astrophotography
The coma corrector is a further development of the GPU by Pal Gyulai - GPU-Optics. The result is a high quality 4-element corrector that provides round stars over the entire field of view even with larger camera sensors. Just enter TS Superflat Coma Corrector on Astrobin and you will see how well the corrector works on Newtonian telescopes.

In opposite to 2-element correctors, the stars are not enlarged, there are no halos. Furthermore, the whole construction is designed to be free from reflexes. Even bright stars wll be shown without reflexes or ghostings.

The Advantages of the GPU Coma Corrector:
Very good coma correction for Newtonian telescopes from f/3.5 to f/6
Suitable for full-frame format, depending on the image train and secondary mirror used.
No change of the focal length.
The focus plane is shifted outwards by 20 mm. This prevents the corrector from protruding into the inside of the tube.
Stars are smaller - no halo effects.
The corrector can be clamped, but also screwed to the focuser by an optional adapter.
The TS GPU corrector offers correction up to full-frame sensors. But for perfect illumination, a FLAT is necessesary.

The optimal working distance from the M48 thread to the camera sensor:
The optimum working distance is 55 mm from the M48 male thread. The external thread itself does not count, as it disappears in the connection adapter. With our extensive range of adapters, you can always achieve the optimum distance.

Die Innovation from TS Optics - screw the GPU corrector to the focuser.
With optional adapters you can screw the corrector to the drawer. For this purpose the corrector has an extended M48x0.75 thread on the camera side. Simply turn down the lock ring and you have 3 mm more M48 thread for screw adaptations available.

By the threaded connection, you gain stability and also accuracy. The image is improved and heavy cameras can be used, too.

Suggestion for an astro camera with 17.5 mm camera back focus and T2 connector:
The camera back focus or flange focal distance is the distance from the T2 (M42x0.75) thread to the sensor. Most cooled astro cameras have this distance.

Adaption with filter drawer for filter change:
Astro Camera ... 17.5 mm flange focal distance
TSM48-T2L extension to M48 ... 6 mm travel
TSFSLM48 ... filter drawer ... 18 mm travel
BAHYP14 ... 14 mm M48 extension ... 14 mm path

The additional 0.5 mm compensates the optical path of the filter. About 1/3 of the filter thickness must always be added to the working distance of the corrector (55 mm).

Question:
How do you have to measure the working distance?

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
The working distance is measured from the beginning of the connection thread on the housing of the corrector (see example picture):

"Der Korrektor hat nicht umsonst so einen guten Ruf-für mich persönlich der beste Korrektor wo man im 2""-Segment bekommen kann. Es sei aber am Anfang schon gesagt, daß auch der TSGPU das Vollformat nicht ganz ausleuchten kann, aber das erkennt man erst zu den Ecken hin. Mit Flatfields kann man das durchaus gut ausbügeln. Volles Ausleuchten bekommt man halt erst mit 2.5-3"" Korrektoren aufwärts, mit zum Teil 3-fachen Preis. Aber die Korrektur ist die beste wo ich bis jetzt erlebt habe: Selbst bei meinem 200/f4 (Vixen RS200) sind die Sterne bei kurzbelichteten Testaufnahmen auf einer Canon 6D-Vollformatkamera bis zu den äußersten Ecken knackscharf. Das ist für einen Korrektor in dieser Preisklasse absolut ungewöhnlich. Und damit sticht er den doppelt so teuren Tele Vue Paracorr photographisch voll aus-zumal auch keine Brennweitenerhöhung stattfindet. Der Paracorr hat Visuell in Verbindung mit Naglerokularen und Lichtstarken Newtons seine Stärken, aber photographisch ist der TSGPU gerade wenn man auch noch mit Vollformat arbeiten will eindeutig erste Wahl ! (Bei mir hat der Paracorr selbst bei meinem Langbrennweitigen 12""/f6 deutliche Koma in den Ecken gezeigt, Allerdings ist der Tele Vue Paracorr bei APS-C was Ausleuchtung und Sternschärfe belangt auch erste Sahne) Also Klasse Meisterleistung vom Pal Gyulai so einen Korrektor für 2"" zu berechnen und für einen Preis von 299.- anzubieten. Außerdem gefällt mir das lange M48-Gewinde und der Konterring sehr gut."

"Feine Sternpunkte bis in die Bildecken am GSO-4""-f/4-Newton bei APS-C-Sensoren. Bei der ZWO ASI 183 MC Pro hatte ich mit dem alten Korrektor immer Geister im Bild, weswegen ich ihn an dieser Kamera wegließ. Dieses Problem ist mit dem GPU nicht mehr existent."

Optical performance
I am very satisfied with the results. Perfect distance needs some fine-tuning especially when filters are involved. Mine performed better close to 57mm distance. I believe that it needs a UV/IR filter to have perfect star colors.
One very positive thing I saw is that it has minimal distortions across the field of an APS-C sensor. When using the Annotation feature of PixInsight, all stars are where they are supposed to. In the extreme corners, stars are off just by a couple of pixels. Something that my older Baader MPCC never could match. With MPCC some stars were a several pixels further than their correct position, showing a strange "moustache" distortion. I do not believe that there would be any perceptible distortion in a M4/3 sized sensor or smaller.
Finally it has 10-15% more vignetting than a Baader MPCC, tested in a 8" F/5 GSO, with 62mm secondary and APS-C sensor.

Mechanical performance
Mechanically it hides some surprises. It is slightly thinner than a normal 2" barrel, so it may "wiggle" a little bit inside a focuser. This is probably by design, to aid screwing the corrector inside the focuser. Now if the focuser supports this you have to go this way. Using the 2" clamp, may slightly tilt the corrector, destroying a perfect collimation.

Very nice coma corrector for it´s price. Round stars till the edge on APC-S sensor and f/4 newton. Comparison with Televue Paracorr-2 showed similar star shapes across the field. Highly recommended.
