Hi,

so I've read only positive remarks about the visual
excellence of Mak Newts, but I'm curious if anybody
has had any luck using their Mak Newts for astrophotos?
I read a review at scopereviews(?) that indicated photography
was a problem since you couldn't quite get the images into
focus or one was at the limit of the focusing range?

Also, I noticed in the accessory list under Orion's
6" Argonaut Mak Newt that a "focal reducer" was available.
Anybody know anything about this device?

Thanks in advance.
