Lumicon Giant Easy Guider in like new condtion. This unit includes the internal 80mm diameter lens that reduces the focal length of an f/11 SCT to f/6.5, giving a wider field of view and brighter image. The unit can be used visually as well as photographically. The view through a C14 equipped with the GEG working at f/6.5 and a 31mm Nagler, is quite impressive. There is almost no vignetting at all - which is not the case with the smaller thread-in type focal reducers. I have not used the unit photographically, but adapters are available for SLR type cameras. There is an adapter included for the guiding eyepiece.

This Giant Easy Guider is designed to work with the larger SCTs, including the Celestron C14 and the Meade 12"/14" SCTs. I think I have the adapters for both the C14 and the Meade scopes - indicate which one you need. I don't believe Lumicon sells these any more and there's probably not a nicer unit out there on the used market. Thanks for looking!
