No matter which way I go, I can see a follow on purchase will (probably) be better filters.
Also I've been considering:
* Abandon the "clean" full frame requirement and target smaller camera sizes for this scope setup.
* Find something like the Sharpstar 107PH with functional flattener and reducer, e.g. perhaps SVX102T with its SFFR.74 Focal Reducer? Or this: https://www.apm-telescopes.de/en/tel...cnc-lw-ii.html  |
I have the Riccardi M82 reducer and adapters ready for use on my CFF105 F6. I plan to use a Proline 16803 or a QHY600m on it.
I can test this combo out in the near future and let you know how it performs. I did read some negative feedback on Cloudy Nights about the M82 reducer on one APO.
The AstroPhysics Quad Telecompressor may work on this scope. Its expensive at US$1520+ shipping and GST but its the best reducer out there. AP make versions of this for TEC scopes. Its just the adapters to fit it at the right spacing.
I also plan to have another one of these Quad compressors in about 6 weeks. I had one once before on an AP140 I had. Lovely, once setup properly at the right distances and a good adapter.
