Focal reducer for astrophotography with a dob?

Hi,

I was planning on doing some astophotography with my sdm this weekend. Is it possible to use a focal reducer to get a wider field on my f4.8 scope? I want to attempt taking a series of images using my SLR (40D) and de-rotate them through software. I had Peter make me a set of shorter truss poles to bring the SLR to focus.

I want to attempt imaging a few DSO with the SDM, see how it goes. I have Servocat installed to assist with tracking.

Would appreciate any tips, thanks
