Quite a few have asked about the reducer and imaging side of this scope, and to this end I have uploaded a few trial shots, of Omega Cent. The first is with an AP67CCD Telecompressor, which widens the field somewhat, and gives decent results, a cost effective reducer. The other two are prime focus, and with an MPCC, both are acceptable, but the MPCC cleans up the corners better. All are 120 second guided shots, with a QHY8. IIRC the latter two shots have been flat fielded, but the reduced shot has not, hence the vignetting and bit of dust in the image.
