That TS-Optics 94EDPH is quite tempting, but I wish there were more images out there to review (this is pretty good though: https://www.astrobin.com/24i1mn/ - using ASI6200). It's also, by default, a wider fov than the Espirit. And would be close to $1K cheaper too, I think (even with shipping, duties, etc).
Is there a 0.8 reducer that works well with the Espirit? |
there is a ricardi brand that some use and I have a 0.65x starizona APEX that works with the espirit 100ed, but this is limited to APS-C sized sensors...think Ricardi likewise but googlize to confirm. I find f5.5 native quite nippy in any case so rarely use the APEX... makes focus, tilt etc exponentially more fussy...can be done, but I'd rather as easier life :-)
