You Fri, 25 Dec 2009 21:51:24 GMT Ken Crowder http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/stellacam/message/1693 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/stellacam/message/1693 I use a Meade LX90-8. I have both a Meade f/3.3 and an OPT f/5 focal reducer. Forget the nose piece extension. It will work, but it throws the focus way off Fri, 25 Dec 2009 17:08:48 GMT Rod Mollise http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/stellacam/message/1692 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/stellacam/message/1692 Shouldn't be _any_ extension needed. You _will_ need an f/3.3 reducer... Peace, Rod Mollise Rod's new book: _Choosing and Using a New CAT_ Available Now!

What is the extension needed from the camera to scope? Thanks. Jim L.
