Vox45 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here I made a crude diagram of what my setup would be in the end.The idea is to get a stronger visual back (with click lock) for the Baader Zoom and eventually use the True Focus 2" ring for my Canon EOS 1000D at prime focus, again with the click lock and undercut barrel.For now this diagram shows the setup for visual observation. I feel that going with 2" will future proof my purchase as I will move to a C8 eventually.I am puzzled by the fact that people say I should get a focal reducer and at the same time a Barlow... don't they cancel each other out in a way ?Any comments and sarcasm welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker1947 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm not so sure about the Barlow, but the FR will help....somebody will be along with the answer to do you need a Barlow...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 You won't need the FR for visual (Though you may want the Barlow). Where you will (Probably) want the FR is for imaging, especially with a DSLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox45 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'll still need the FR for AP with my Canon 1000D. So it is not a waste to buy that.For the reste, it is just a matter of:-> removing the diagonal and swapping the FR on when AP (DSO's mostly)-> adding the diagonal and swapping the FR off when observingThanks Dave, I feel I am on the right track then.

Tinker1947 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I used a 6.3f FR for visual in a C11, thus gave a wider FOV and also helped a lot with the focusing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox45 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 That is what I read somewhere...Either way I need to get all those, so I'll test myself the different permutations Nothing beats hands on experience ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
