[QUOTE=tonybarry;778711]I've an LX90-10" ACF with AudioStar, purchased in July from Don at Bintel (Sydney). It has had a couple of issues, unlike the LX90-8" GPS that it replaced.

The optics are also very good, although the ACF has no focal reducers of the amount that the SCT optics had available. This is a bit of a PITA for occ. work, but that's life.

Hi Tony
There are several reducers that will be very useful with the ACF scopes. The AP has been noted. I have been using the Optec F7 Ultra widefield with the 12inch and this is a a very fine reducer for this telescope. I have recently purchased the Optec F6.2 Lepus and this is specifically designed for the ACF scopes. They do require the correct spacer adapter for CCD / DSLR camera.
The Lepus is $259 from Sirius Optics and I think there maybe 1 or 2 in stock. The adapter is about $80?? double check that with Ron when they arrive next week.
Yeah yeah I declare as usual that I work for Sirius Optics once a fortnite.
PeterM.
