Focal reducer and in-travel

Hi All


I am thinking of buying a cheap focal reducer, to test if it is something that is able to help with my particular scope and camera setup.


For the Bintel focal reducer linked below, they say that 10mm of in travel is needed.


Does this mean that I should find the focus point, with the camera, and then make sure that the focusser can move in at least another 10mm?


Have fun



Philip

Note – sufficient focuser in-travel is required to reach focus. For example:
Focal reducer without extension tube requires ~10mm in travel to reach focus.
Focal reducer with 25mm extension tube requires ~35mm in travel to reach focus.
