Mine worked out as about an F7 reducer where I was happiest with the image.

The remaining coma actually makes sorting out the collimation easy, it is visible at the edges of the field in short exposures and if the tails on stars in the corners were not pointed into the corners, and halfway along the edges pointed straight at the respective edges then it needed a tweak.
Not to hijack the thread, I am looking for spacing options for the c9.25/0.63 reducer/asi294 setup. What parts are you using to solve this?
