TS Reducer for SW Esprit 120 APO

[Mickconn77 (Mick)]

I’ll be investing in a reducer for my 80mm apo as well as one for a 120mm esprit I’m hoping to pick up.
Looking at getting the TSRED379 from TS OPTICS. I know it’s perfect for
My 80mm, but my question is;
Has anyone used this reducer or any other generic reducer/corrector with their esprit?
It would be amazing to be able to switch the reducer between scopes.

Mick, checkout the Starizona Apex… it’s supposed to work pretty well with the Esprit 120.

Thanks for your reply, Dunk.
I am more interested in other generic reducers, however. The Starizona is probably more than I’d like to spend, and the reduction factor is a little too much.

I have an Esprit 120 and use the dedicated SkyWatcher .77 reducer which works well but not certain of the others. There's also a 0.75x riccardi large which gets some good reviews

TBH all the good ones are costly.

The Esprit at native focal length sets the bar quite high once you start messing with alternatives, if you peep at your star shapes at least.

Yeah that’s fair enough.

Thanks for your reply.
