How to wider FOV on video camera & SCT, please.

Hi folks,

I've got myself a beautiful Gstar video camera to use on outreach nights with my C8. I've also got a 0.5X focal reducer that sits in front of the chip. Works fine, but the FOV with larger objects, it isn't wide enough.

Other than getting another scope, is there some other way of increasing the FOV with this SCT/video camera combination? Would using one of these f/6.3 focal reducers infront of the diagonal & the 0.5X reducer together work?

Cheers,

Mental.
