Thanks for the reply RG,
I'm a bit dumb at all this but may I ask a comparison question.
First of all I'm using the non ACF version of the GPS scope.
In my current setup, I'm using the standard Meade adapter with a Hirsch 6.3 focal reducer screwed on to the adapter, I then have the Meade standard zero shift focuser connected to the Hirsch focal reducer via the 3 thumb screws. I then have my Canon 450D with T-ring and nosepiece, (about 1 inch in length), connected to the focuser. My question is, with the Moonlight focuser, will I still be able to connect the Camera to the back of the focuser as I have been doing or will I have to add the draw tube as well making the camera sit a lot further away using the 3 1/4" flange. (With the focal reducer in the focuser).
I currently get vignetting when I take shots, so will I be worse off with the 3 1/4" flange or worse off with the 2" to meade adapter. Also is the amount of light that gets through even applicable as to whether I use 3 1/4" or 2"?
Either way, I have a horrible wobbly setup as is and I like the way the Moonlite has a solid thread to attach to the scope without the thumb screws. I also have an eye opener if that makes any difference that I use when I'm not using the focal reducer and the focuser then attaches to that via thumbscrews.
Sorry if I'm confusing things here, but I'm a quick learner sometimes.
Cheers,
Damien
