I had first light using WO Bino's last night and was euphoric with the results.
I was using them on my CPC11 attached to the 1.25 visual back and diagonal. I would now like to improve even upon that great performance by using a celestron reducer with the bino's. Is that feasible?
Thanks for any input you have.

Hi Gustave
From what I've gleaned around here and other places, it should work. You should use a 2" diagonal, though, in order to minimize vignetting.
But why not just try it and tell us about the results? Or do you not own a reducer yet? There are reducer systems made specifically for binoviewers on SCT's.
Clear skies!

Thomas,
I used my Earthwin 2" diagonal Powerswitcher with a 2x / .66 reducer in combination with the WO binoviewer. In "neutral" all was well, but I could not get an image in or out of focus with either powerswitch, only a homogenous haze across the field. I'm considering the purchase of twin Televue plossls, either 32 mm, AFOV 50 degrees or 40 mm AFOV 42 degrees.
