Hi Gary,

Thanks for that. I was intending to get the Skywatcher reducer for the ED120, however I have replaced the original focuser with a Moonlite. As a result, I would be unable to thread the reducer on. I do believe that First Light Optics in the UK sell an adapter which would allow it to fit into a 2 inch focuser, but to be honest, I could not be bothered. Especially that I would also need to purchase a reducer for the ED80. In addition, I was under the impression that on the camera side of the reducer, I would need an adapter for M48 thread to T2 thread to enable the CCD to be attached.

Thanks,

Daniel
