Hi Paul, Apologies if I missed something regarding your mount on the thread, but if you are thinking of a focal reducer it may be worth checking that you have enough clearance on the mount for the telescope to reach vertical with a focal reducer - particularly if you are using a 2 inch diagonal. I have a the Celestron focal reducer on my Nexstar 8SE and the diagonal hits the mount at about 80 degrees, not really an issue for me, I just set slew limits and wait a couple of hours for objects to swing into view. But I did have one of those "oh nuts" moments when I realised there was an issue.
