Celestron 9.25" Baader steeltrack and f/6.3 FR

[Mike Read]

Morning,

I currently have a Celestron 9.25" SCT and am in the process of upgrading the focuser to baader steeltrack. I have the f/6.3 FR on back order. My question is: where will the FR fit in the image train? Is it compatible?

Thanks Mike

Hi Mike, you have to fit the steeltrack focuser in place of the standard visual back adapter. You will then need a 2 inch to SCT adapter to fit the 6.3 flattener/reducer.

Best!

Thank you, was worried they wouldn’t be compatible
