Thanks Paul - great advice, much appreciated.

I imaged M42 last night without the reducer - no reflections whatsoever.
Image was way softer than the reducer image for some reason and stars at edge were rounder than the non reducer image.

Couple of questions with the above in mind...
1. It would seem that the baffle is adequately 'flocked' - would preforming the flocking mod further reduce the possibility of reflections with the reducer? Or is that just a waste of time?
2. Leonardo's suggestion of adding additional spacers to slightly increase the f ratio might be a reasonable way to go?

Stock focuser replaced with 2" Feather Touch with 1.5" travel

Cheers
Doug
