I should add that, even though the Denk reducer in their PowerSwitch and SCT StarSweeper products is a simple reducer, that shouldn't scare you from using those instead of the Celestron/Meade R/C piece, if for purely visual use. Their convenience swapping in and out likely outweighs any R/C flattening advantages. Does for me anyway.
