Binoviewer and f/6.3 corrector? new
      #3868199 - 06/16/10 11:44 AM

This combination on an SCT - will it work, or does the focal reducer move the focal plane the wrong way?
Thanks!
- Rick

I had enough in-focus on my C5 for my Binoviewers to work with the Celestron FR, but that combo didn't work on my CPC925.
With the C5, however, there was an annoying glare from the FR filling most of the center of view when viewing the moon, so I abandoned using it.

Best,
Ed L.

Similar experience.

I've got a screw on nosepiece type 0.6x reducer that doesn't seem to reach focus with my chinese Stellarvue BV and 9.25sct. It never seems to get even close to focus.
