I now have a C11 on a Skywatcher EQ6 R Pro with Optec SSP3 and have been advised that a focal reducer (FR) may be needed.
A few questions please.
Does the FR speed up the system, i.e would I get more counts than without an FR?
Is the problem also that scope will be less prone to guiding, vibration and wind shake problems with a FR.
Anything else I would need to be aware of.
Thanks
Kevin
There is no need for a focal reducer. You have a mount, an optical tube, and the photometer. Set them up and see how they work.
