Focal Reducer/Flattner for Equinox 80ED

[nmoushon]

So I'm getting a Equinox 80ED and think I might need a focal reducer and/or flattner for it. I was looking at the SW .8 reducer/flattner but that doesnt work with the Equinox 80. I found an adapter that could work with the 100 and 120 but not the 80. Is there a reducer/flattner that works with 80 that anyone knows of?

Bump.

I'm getting an equinox 80, too and have the same question. Anyone got any ideas to share?

I believe you are looking at the TRF-2008 .... only one I've seen positive comments about with the EQ80.

However, there are some members who have had "some" good results with the cheapo Skywatcher one (£70 or so?)

Not tried either personally however

I'm starting to come to that conclusion. I think I better let my wife get over the shock of buying the scope before I even think about going there... Who knows, in the mean time SW may even come up with a dedicated one. I'm going with blind optimism. ;-)
