Focal Reducer For Sale**SOLD**

Hi all,
I have an Optec Focal Reducer for sale.
It is the "Widefield 2" f/5 model, and slips into the 2" focuser (as opposed to the "normal" SCT).
I bought it thinking it would work with my Takahashi Mewlon, but it doesn't seem to. It is more designed for the SCT systems (with their considerably larger focus travel)
The reducer is supplied with the mounting plate for the SBIG ST series of CCD cameras. This plate/ring attaches directly to the rear of the reducer housing, and T threads to the front of the SBIG. It "MAY" work with other cameras, but I can't promise this.
Value for money at US$125 plus $5 post.

Sorry Paul, no. The darn Mewlon is too slow to image with, well at present anyway. I'll get it to work though, fear not.
