I know that this is an older post but I hoping someone can help me.
I have a old meade f/6.3 focal reducer/flattener. I used it with a meade 10" LX90 SCT (non ACF) in a moonlite 2.5 cml focuser.
I now have a meade 10" LX200-ACF SCT and want to use the moonlite focuser with a focal reducer (non field flattener). From the post above it sounds like it is possible to remove the field flattener lens..
The moonlite focuser draw tube is for a meade focal reducer so it is important that I either use a compatible focal reducer or remove the field flattener lens so it will work in the moonlite focuser.
If I remove the lens does anyone have experience with what the new back focus will be (the original back focus was 104 mm)?
Or can someone suggest a better focal reducer which would be compatible with the moonlight focuser draw tube?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Brent
