As far as I know, if you are using the F6.3 reducer/corrector on an SCT, the warp speed versus fishbowl effect is reversed compared to a traditional refractor and reducer/flattener combination, so fishbowl equals too close, warp speed too far. I have to play a little with my C925 soon so I will be able to confirm that. It is very slightly a fishbowl effect and I was going to add 5mm to see if I can flip it to warp speed to confirm. Once I am sure of my spacing I was going to get a custom spacer done up.
ok.. bring this up again. Can some one confirm if the below is correct and would a spacer 5mm or under make a difference?

For my SCT
Fishbowl image means back focus is too close
warp speed image means back focus is too far

For my Refractor
Fishbowl image means back focus is too far
warp speed image means back focus is too close

by the way.. I just bought SharpCap pro. will give the PL a crack tonight on the SCT with NEQ6 mount

Cheers
