I bit the bullet and got a reducer

Well, I bought the .8x focal reducer for the NP101 and am waiting for it to arrive. I had to buy the new style for the NP101is, could not find the old style like for the TV85.
All in all, not a cheap purchase, but it will give me a 1.5° x 1° FOV for the larger objects, slightly more than the WO 80mm gave me with the focal reducer.
Now if I can just get some clear skies to try it out. cwy

Looks like the reducer will work out better than
the clear skies for the time being, Floyd.
The jet stream is right on top of us and
it looks like it's staying a while. cwy
Maybe Santa Claus will bring us some clear sky. smile
