Thank you for the replies guys, based on your info I did some research and found out that the camera has this spec:
Back Focus Distance 12.5mm
And the GSO focal reducer page says 'In our tests, when screwed into an eyepiece, this focal reducer required approximately 8mm of additional in-focus travel so please make sure that your focuser can accommodate this travel requirement.
Focal length (estimated) = 101 - 103mm (3.98 - 4.06")
Total item length (excluding external thread) = 10mm'
I don't believe I have any spacers (I didn't even what that was, sorry - very new to this!). So based on the above, what calcs do I need to do figure what kind of spacers I need? Should I just go with 8mm and try that?
