ED80 reducer question

[Anthonyexmouth]

currently using an AA 0.8x reducer with my SW ED80. wondering if i would have any problems with image quality if i were to try a .6x reducer. quite like the idea of a cheap way to get a wider field for some bigger targets.

I would say that you will have issues with the ASI294mc pro, if it was that easy then no one would be paying the big bucks for a FSQ-85, I have seen someone use the 0.6x reducer with a very small sensor, something like a Atik 428ex sized sensor to gain a larger field of view and it just about delivered a flat field on a sensor that size. I dont see there being any chance of it delivering for you with a sensor the size of a ASI294mc pro though.
