Focal reducer


Recommended Posts

At present I use a Starwave 0.8 Focal Reducer making the SkyWatcher Evostar 80mm I use F6, down from F7.5 without a focal reducer, but this still doesn't give the Field of View I need for bigger objects such as M31 to get it all in when astro-imaging. ie no M32 satellite galaxy in the image.

I would like to purchase a Starwave 0.6 Focal Reducer to make my telescope F ratio 4.5.

Will I have sufficient 'infocus' distance to make this work for me?  If anyone has the same or a similar setup as me, I would appreciate your feedback. I use an Altair 183C Hypercam, and add in a 35mm adapter to achieve enough 'out-focus'
