You can use an AP or Tak reducer or flattener with them and they work really well.
Yes they are not an RC from some of the more expensive brands and the construction is not as solid but the scopes do the job. I need to dedicate some time to writing up a review of the 12". Bang for buck these are great, but you will need a good focusor and a dew strap on the front of the scope. |
Paulie,
Mate, thanks for the tip. I think it would be great if you did a review of that 12" RC GSO you have. You mentioned a dew heater up front? and bigger focuser? Why's that, mate? BTW the shot of 253 is bloody awesome! Since I'll be using a FF DSLR with a mod. sensor on that 16"GSO RC, I don't think I'll need a FF or reducer or will I?
BTW, give my regards to Bill Jenkins and Joe Grida of the SAAS
cheers mate,
