UTA 2

 

UTA with camera.   The diameter of the obstruction is 8.5".   Along with the plastic blocks and cables the obstruction causes approximately a 15% loss of light.   Another limitation of this design is that the 7 cables used to power and control the camera destroy the four spike pattern that is created by the spider vanes.
