Focal Reducer for BD ED 120 Refractor

Hi Everyone,

Following on from my last thread regarding the ED120 telescope I am now looking at getting a focal reducer and field flattener. For the ED120 telescope these seem hard to find here in Australia. I had a look at the astro shops in the UK and found the reducer at the link below:

But this seems to be for the Evostar ED120 DS. I'm not sure whether this also fits the ED120 as well or not. When I go to ozscopes I find the same reducer but much more expensive as noted in the link below

http://www.ozscopes.com.au/skywatche...l-reducer.html

From the places that I have seen that sell the ED100 and ED80 reducers these are both around $300 so not sure why this one is nearly $150 more.

All in all I'm a little confused. At present I ma thinking to buy the one from the UK as with the conversion and shipping its likely to be cheaper than the one from ozscopes. Thats if this is the correct one for my scope.

If anyone has info on these reducers please let me know.

Regards,

Tom
