CATEcor "Occultinator" Scientific Solar Coronagraph

These are the parts for "CATEcor", a solar coronagraph that is specifically designed to work with a Daystar 80mm refracting telescope. It can mount to any refractor tube with a diameter between 90-110mm.

This is a real scientific instrument, and it has been used to detect the solar corona directly from the high country of Colorado, on 6-Oct-2023 and to image it during the annular solar eclipse of 13-Oct-2023. Assembly is do-able for an able "maker" but not trivial. The individual parts are printed with different print characteristics, and some additional materials are needed for full assembly.

CATEcor is intended to be used during a partial eclipse but can also be used at high altitude on a normal day.
