Paul,
I’m using a 6” f6 basic $299 Bintel GSO newt reflector
You don’t need reducers or flatterers for basic newt reflectors ( most Skywatcher and GSO newts will focus at prime focus ( 55mm ) I only use a 35mm extension piece on this scope for planetary work with my Powermates other than that for all DSO work I just pop the camera straight into the focuser
Focal length is 900mm
Image scale with my 2600MC OSC camera is 0.86 arc sec/ pixel so slightly over sampled
Cheers
Martin
