Advice for f6.3 focal reducer

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi lovely peps of SLG. I've a celestron f6.3 focal reducer but would be great to use with my SCT Crayford focuser. The length from the front of the reducer to DSLR chip is 150mm approx. This is on a celestron 11inch XLT. The recommended length from reducer to chip is 105mm. Also focus would add more to this. The focuser is usb controlled. The only other away if it's not possible in this configuration is to buy the celestron electronic focuser. Comments would be great.

I used same design 6.3 flattener reducer on my old Meade and it didn't seem very bothered about spacing anywhere between 100 to 150mm but I only used an Atik314.

Yep, tested the configuration the other night and it does work well so I'm really pleased with the reducer. Thanks for those who posted to my question.
