This combination focal reducer and field corrector lens accessory works with all Celestron 5", 6", 8", 9 1/4", 11" and 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. This clever accessory makes it possible to have a dual focal ratio instrument, without sacrificing image quality. The Reducer/Corrector is f/6.3 for C5, C6, C8, C9 and C11 telescopes and f/7 for the C14 telescope.
If offers wide fields of view with any Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Used for astrophotography, it reduces exposure time by a factor of 3.
Celestron doesn't offer a f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, because the design is impractical, with a large central obstruction, and resulting loss in contrast. This, added to the inability to utilize longer focal ratios for certain objects, led Celestron to design the four-element, fully multicoated f/6.3 Reducer/Corrector. Results are amazing both visually and photographically.
THE #94175 REDUCER/CORRECTOR LENS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CELESTRON EDGEHD OPTICAL SYSTEMS.
- LIKE HAVING TWO TELESCOPES IN ONE: Your long focal length Schmidt-Cassegrain is well suited to lunar and planetary work. Add the Reducer Corrector and you have a short focal length telescope perfect for deep sky observing and astrophotography.
- REDUCES FOCAL LENGTH AND F/RATIO BY 37%: Simply thread the reducer onto your telescopes rear cell and an f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain becomes f/6.3. An f/11 instrument becomes f/7.
- COMPATIBLE WITH ALL YOUR ACCESSORIES: Once the reducer is installed, you can add accessories like a T-Adapter, visual back, star diagonal or off-axis guider as usual.
- GREAT FOR TERRESTRIAL DIGISCOPING: The faster f/ratio allows you to shoot in dimmer lighting conditions and still properly expose your subject. This fully multi-coated lens provides maximum light transmission with near full-field illumination.
- UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a 2-Year US Warranty and unlimited support from our team of US-based experts.
