Orion Reducer

This reducer shortens your telescope's focal length by a factor of 0.8x, which effectively 'speeds up' your optics. This allows you to capture more light in less time, significantly reducing the exposure times needed for deep-sky imaging.

This reducer is designed specifically for refractor telescopes with a 2-inch focuser. As long as your telescope is a refractor and accepts 2-inch accessories, it should integrate seamlessly.

The reducer features a standard T2 camera connection. You will need a T2 ring specific to your camera brand to attach your DSLR directly to the unit.

Yes, the 55mm back focus is critical for achieving optimal image quality across the entire field. You must ensure the distance from the back of the reducer to your camera's sensor is exactly 55mm to avoid distorted stars or poor focus.

Yes, the unit includes a filter thread, allowing you to easily attach standard filters to enhance your imaging sessions without needing extra adapters.

By reducing the focal length, this accessory widens your field of view. This is particularly useful if you are trying to capture larger nebulae or galaxies that would otherwise be cropped out of your frame.
