Altair Lightwave 0.8x Focal Reducer

Product Description

The Lightwave 0.8x focal reducer gives an 0.8x reduction in F-Ratio for faster exposure times, as well as a correspondingly wider field for astro-photography. Designed primarily for refractor telescopes of F6 or longer focal ratios, however also known to work with RC telescopes. Many refractor telescopes on the market with f6 or longer focal ratios such as the SkyWatcher Equinox and Evostar DS Pro range can benefit from this reducer for astrphotography.
