Please can anyone help - I understand the AP 0.67x reducer has to be somehow recessed into the AO7 body to reach the correct spacing of 5" from reducer to CCD.
I have seen Russ Croman's (etc) instructions for getting the AO7 body modified, then a new lens cell for the reducer, to interface the whole thing to the FIA (Fixed Instrument Adaptor) on an RCOS.
This is all well and good, but I need to retain the 2" push fit facility for use on my refractors.
Any advice on how to get the AP reducer into the imaging train without too much hassle would be appreciated.
Thanks - Rob & Jess
