Focal reducer

[SteveA]

Hi everyone..

Does anyone have any advice or recomendations on a suitable focal reducer for use with an ED80 ? I've been looking at some of the Meade ones, but I'm not sure if these will be compatable with the ED80 (are they only for SCT's)and what sort of adapter will I need (if any) to connect one of thee to the ED80 ?, I'm interestsed in using this primarily for imaging work.

Many Thanks...

Hi Steve. I've had good luck with the standard one that has 1 1/4" eyepiece threads on, it's not expensive. http://www.modernastronomy.com/accessories.html

I'm assuming that you want to use it with the SC1 webcam, because it's too small for a DSLR.

For a DSLR I'd go for something near the bottom of this page. http://www.scopesnskies.com/cat/barlow-lenses/antares-barlow-lenses-and-focal-reducer-lenses.html
