Alright an update, all is not going well with the reducer! I have my TV RFL-4087 reducer/Flattener and new ML focuser, so I can now reach in-focus enough to use the reducer.
I have spaced it to 56mm (
T ring shoulder to focal plane..just scroll down a little) which is
correct according to TV site . I even called them to confirm that this is the method for measuring this spacing.
TV said that by using this FL reducer and their T ring adaptors will naturally achieve the correct 56mm spacing for a DSLR.
So I did all that and...no go. The stars are
not pinpoint at the edges, they are not gross but they are not pinpoint either.
I suspect I may have to shorten this spacing..which will be a real pain. I found I can create a 1mm shorter T ring spacing by disassembling the TV T ring and building a Frankenstein version from the parts of other T ring adaptors.
So I'll fiddle with spacing and report back...in the mean time..pulling my hair out at the thought that this reducer may be incompatible with the 127ED!
