A question on Focal Reducers

[barkis]

I Now have both a ZS66 Apo F 5.9, and ED80 Apo F6.8.

I know there is a WO 0.8 Reducer that will work with both these scopes (Please correct me if I am wrong here.)

The price is a bit Hm Hm. but If I need to I will buy it. Other than WO one, is there another that is as suitable but not as steep price wise.?

Thanks.

Ron.

I use the Atik one that I got from Ian King

Bout halfway down the page. Works a treat with my ZS66 And a lot cheaper

the Atik 5 x reducer will work a lot cheaper . but beware , it could give very slight coma . i have finally settled for the Celestron 6.3 reducer, for the SCT i now have the Alan Gee reducer at F5.9 to give a wide flat field .

Looks a bit more acceptable price wise anyway.

Thanks Craig.

I have a 3.3 and a 6.3, but they are both designed for the SCT. Can the 6.3 be used with refractors with an adaptor . Although the ZS 66 has a SCT thread and would take the reducer anyway, but would it work.?

Thats what i do with my Ed80 Ron.

I am starting to like this better, I may not have to spend any money, at least I could now spend it on something else.
