Subject: Re: focal reducer for DMK

Thanks Milton and Mark for your responses, very helpful.  I need a reducer that will screw on like a filter.  This is for use on the big scope which is FL 5490.  I get a FOV of just over 4 arcmins with the DMK which makes it pretty hard to find a quide star sometimes.  Coma is not a big issue when I am using the camera to guide.

When I was trying to capture the occultation it would have been nice to capture a wider field as well.  I dont think I even tried my .5FR that night.  I was kind of late getting the DMK setup.

Thanks again,

Willie
