Any bigger reduction than that and the stars at the edges started to look a bit dodgy.


Worth noting that at 0.75x with that camera and scope, the resolution is about 0.65 arcseconds per pixel. You don't want to go much less of reduction than 0.75 then, as then you'll be risking oversampling.

Now to find myself a D-style saddle for the HEQ5 pro.. I really overlooked that
