largest corrected field?
      #4256082 - 12/18/10 11:03 AM

Using the f3.3 focal reducder is said to give approx 9mm diameter corrected field. I see lots of posts using 0.5x reducers with f6.3 reducers and other using the mallincam MFR-5. OK, what would be useful is a list of the different options that can be used with a "standard f10" SCT and the resulting focal ratio and the approximate diameter of the corrected field, ie the size over which you get nice small stars in images?

Thanks
