Baader 2" MPCC Multi Purpose Coma Corrector - New MkIII Version # MPCC 2458400
Baader MPCC for Visual Use
I purchased the Baader MPCC for use with my 16" F 4.5 Meade Lightbridge dobsonian telescope. This scope has quite a fast F ratio so a coma corrector is required to get the best performance from widefield eyepieces. I did quite a bit of research bef...

GSO 1.25" 0.5x Focal Reducer
Very good performance!
I really wasn't expecting too much from this focal reducer because of the price. I was sure surprised! While I haven't had the opportunity to fully put it through its paces, I am so far quite pleased with its results. I have used it with a variety o...

Antares f/6.3 Focal Reducer for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes
Excellent reducer for SCT
I bought this item from agenaastro.com, and I tried it on my Meade LX90. It works great (with my W.O. 20mm Superwide). No problem for focus. Very sharp views! Price is very good. I expect to use it with my Celestron C9.25. Work good too with my EOS3...

Antares 1.25" 0.5x Focal Reducer
A reduction in image, but not quality
This fine reducer will bring your target down to size, without distorting the view or the contrast. I use the reducer in an Orion Deep Space Imager, a Philips SPC900NC webcam, a Toucam 840k webcam, and several different telescopes without any problem...

Antares 2" 0.5x Focal Reducer
Antares 0.5x 2" FR
I've used this piece a few times visually with my Celestron C6-S and some 2" EPs. I really like the wider field views it gives with my 2" 30mm EP, and it also sharpens up the edges of the FOV. With it I can see the whole of Orion's sword. It's a grea...

Antares f/6.3 Focal Reducer for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes
Excellent addition to any SCT
I picked this up a while back, and finally got around to using it earlier this week. I was surprised at what a difference it made with all my eyepieces! I originally intended to use it with just my longest focal length eyepieces to get a bit more fie...

Antares f/6.3 Focal Reducer for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes
Antares f/6.3 Focal Reducer
I got a great deal on a new Antares f/6.3 focal reducer. Plus I needed this reducer because of my C8 f/10's long focal length. Without this lens, it was very hard to view most star clusters and wide nebulae. But there is a problem with this reducer. ...

Tele Vue 2" Visual Imaging Paracorr Type-2 # VIP-2010
Paracorr is Essential to Short Newtonians
If you value optical image quality, but your Newtonian scope is f/5 or even shorter, then a Paracorr is an essential part of the optical train. By reducing coma to vanishingly low levels, any other optical errors in the system show through. If ther...

Celestron f/6.3 Reducer Corrector # 94175
Great accessory for Deep space imaging and viewing
These are designed to be used with an SCT to help shorten the focal length and correct some of the field curvature in the SCT design. The Celestron brand F6.3 is similar to the Meade version....and the Meade version was a few dollars cheaper but not...
