Focal Reducers
MFR-10 Focal Reducer
Because of the Large sensor size on the SkyRaider DS10CTECC, the best focal
reducers to use is the Mallincam 2-inch version. The MallinCam MFR-10
(MallinCam Focal Reducer-10) is a breakthrough in optical performance only
from MallinCam. You can now have a focal reducer for your larger size (up to
28.4mm diagonal) CCD or CMOS sensor astronomical camera. The large format
focal reducer has a 2" (48mm) thread on either end, and comes with a T-to-2"
adapter to allow use with all T-mount type cameras. Reduction for a 17.5 mm
back focus camera is 0.46X. The 3 element multi-coated system has a built-in
field flattener crucial for RC type telescope and SCT as well. The MFR-10 will
make your telescope F/ ratio faster when using a CCD or CMOS camera, cutting
exposure time by up to 5X. Using this with a 10mm space provides the fastest
system with the least amount of distortion effects.
