Hi Willie, 

Try the Mogg reducers- Go to "focal reducers" over on the left of this page...http://moggadapters.com/astro/adapter.asp

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
