Wondering how you guys are attaching your Mallincams with focal reducers to your forked SCT's? I'd like to be able to clear the telescope base with camera attached and scope pointed towards Zenith. I'm assuming you are using a diagonal?
Any pictures of your setup?

James,
I attach the Mallincam to an Antares 0.5x reducer with a c-mount to 1.25 inch adaptor that I had to shorten to get me to F/3.0. I drop that into the stock 1.25" diagonal that came with the CPC1100.
Regards,
Rich

I use an SBIG .5 FR which screws into the Mallincam 1.25" nosepiece. Simple, and takes up no backfocus. Generally, I don't use a diagonal unless I'm headed for zenith.

Re: 8" LX200R + diagonal + Mallincam + focal reducer?
Mine= 10" LX200 + F6.3 focal reducer + Diagonal + Mintron camera. Works great!
