I am using a TV RFL-4087 (.8x reducer/flattener) with less than optimal results. It's better but not perfect. The reduction to F6 however......makes the 127ED a real nice performer!

If you want I can send it to you to try. Maybe you will get better results or look at things differently to me?

I also have the TV 2.4 inch adaptors/connectors/filter holder and custom 2.4 inch to ML 2.5" focuser DT adaptor.

Email me if you would like to give it a try.

edit:
I really haven't finished testing it out...i have a few more test to run but since I haven't seen the sky for months then you may have better use for it ATM.
Thanks again Brendan. You're right. It's for the 127. I have ordered one - just wanted to test the waters to see if anyone else had any cautionary tales to tell about them.
I really appreciate tyhe offer of a loan of the TV. You're very generous to do that. I'll see how the WO turns out and if it isn't much chop, perhaps we could compare notes afterwards.
Peter
