Sky-Watcher EvoGuide 50ED Guides scope field flattner

[Dougie Smart]

Hi All, 

I have purchased a Sky-Watcher EvoGuide 50ED Guidescope and am waiting for it to arrive. 

Currently I have a Nikon d3200 DSLR and wonder if it can be fitted to this scope once a field flattener is fitted (i.e. will the camera still focus)? 

Hope you can help.

The skywatcher field flattener does not allow enough back focus left for using a DSLR to be able to reach infinity focus.

Thanks for your reply. I read somewhere that it depends on the DSLR used whether using the field flattener will achieve focus. Not to worry, I may cancel my order for the 50ED and order a 72ED instead. 

All the best, 

Dougie

The mirrorless camera I looked at was still several mm away.

Why not check the spec of the field flattener then check the cameras you are thinking of.
