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,

Jim, the dew heater is needed to keep the dew of the secondary. Without it the dew builds up. Using a better focusor than the stock one will mean you will not get flexure issues that the stock one presents.

You will get some field curvature but it is minor, and you can always crop. I do with the shots taken on the RC12.

Its Rob or Bob Jenkins and we are ASSA. Rob is the current president, I am VP and Joe is a lifer now. I will pass on your regards.

Feel free to ask me anymore questions. I have included a few more images taken with the GSO RC's.
