Review on Celestron C Series Telescope f/6.3 Reducer Corrector by Michael Tucker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works if your rig has the ability to focus with the gear installed

The focus gear reduces the focal length of the telescope as expected. However, in combination with star diagonal, T-piece and Canon T3i, my Nexstar 8SE does not have enough play in the focus knob to bring subjects into focus. I had to replace the male portion of the tee with a shorter one to make it work. The Nexstar 8SE is a Celestron product, the Tee is a Celestron product and the Canon Rebel series is a very common DSLR used for astrophotography. I wish Celestron had tested compatibility better and provided a list of oscilloscope/camera combos that work as is and those that require an adapter.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Some issues
