Televue .8 Focal Reducer

I got a TV .8 focal reducer with my WO 80mm scope and would like to use it. It will screw onto the DSI II C camera with the nose piece removed, but then I do not seem to get a focus and there is a orange color too. It says that there should be 56mm between the chip and the flange on the TV site. Does this mean that I should be using a spacer or something with the reducer?

Yes. The closer you can get to obtaining the recommended metal back distance the better the focal reducer will work according to it's design. Check your camera specs to find the distance from the front of the camera to the CCD chip and then measure the length of the adaptor needed.
Hope this helps.
