The Meade f/6.3 Focal Reducer/Field Flattener (4-element, 41mm diameter, multicoated lens elements) # 07545 threads on to the rear cell of any LX-series mirror-lens Meade telescope or to other Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope brands and reduces the telescope’s focal ratio by a factor of 0.63. With this accessory, f/10 telescopes are converted to f/6.3 and f/ 6.3 telescopes are converted to f/4. Simultaneously, it helps to flatten the field, significantly improving edge-of-field corrections. The f/6.3 Meade Focal Reducer enables a reduction of photographic exposure times by about 50%, while producing an actual field diameter of 1.5" at the film plane. The f/6.3 Focal Reducer duplicates the rear cell thread of the telescope, allowing you to attach all standard rear cell visual and photographic accessories. |
