Hi. I'm very interested in this but have a few rookie questions.
Is it for visual or photographic purposes or both?
How much does it reduce the focal ratio eg 0.7?
Will it screw in to Celestron 2"? If not, do you know of an adapter that would work?
Thanks in advance.

0.5

not sure - it is designed to screw into a 2 inch diagonal on SCTs. I have little doubt that the threads on any Celestron or Meade 2 inch diagonal would accept this unit.

Thanks William.
I'll buy it if you can mail it to me. Just let me know how much it is for the postage costs in a padded envelope or whatever you think would be safe. Is it okay to pay by EFT?
Cheers
