Telescope front lens to wall distance 25 cm, GigE camera lenght 6 cm and cat6 cable 2cm
Atm3, Existing short camera can has 16cm lenght to lexan guard on viewport. Available 2" od periscope tube lenght is 8cm. The one in use 16 cm long.
Note: we can fabricate a lite cover with tube that would accomodate longer telescope.
Can we calibrate the AR coated M5018-SW and compare it's performance agains the 2" periscope
Look at the Edmond Optics 3" od camera lens with AR
This lower priced 1" apeture Navitar lens can be an option too.
Atm1, Now I can see dust. This is much better. The focus is not right yet.
Atm2, Chamber viewport wiped and image refocused. Actually I was focusing on the dust.

I calculated a better lens solution for the ETMX side view with the simple python script that's attached. The camera is still not as close to the viewport as we would like, and now the front lens is almost all the up to the end of the tube. With a little more playing around there maybe a better way, especially if we expand the repertoire of focal lengths. Using Steve's wonderful camera fixture I put the beam spot in focus. I turned the camera sideways for better use of the field of view, and now the beam spot actually fills the center area of the beam, to the point where we probably don't want more magnification or else we start losing the tails of the Gaussian.
We'll take a serious of images tomorrow, and will have an estimate of the scatter loss by the end of tomorrow.
