| Comments: |
This was my first attempt at using the AP .67x reducer with the configuration. According to the AP information, with the reducer connected to the 2" nosepiece in the SBIG CFW-8A, the reduction should be 0.67. However, when measured, I only get 0.73x, so there is something that doesn't match up to the AP information. Regardless, the FOV was very flat across the entire chip and gave round stars out to the edges. |
