Meade Focal Reducer/Field Flattener F6.3

An important advancement in high-resolution focal reduction systems, Meade f/6.3 Focal Reducer/Field Flattener (4-element; 41mm diameter) 07049 threads on to the rear cell of any LX-series mirror-lens Meade telescope or to other Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope brands (followed by the Off-Axis Guider, or T-Adapter) and reduces the telescope's focal ratio by a factor of 0.63: f/10 telescopes are converted to f/ 6.3; f / 6.3 telescopes are converted to f/4.

Simultaneously, the 41mm-diameter lens system helps to flatten the field, significantly improving edge-of-field corrections. F/6.3 Meade Focal Reducer # 07049 enables a reduction of photographic ex-posure times by about 50%, while producing an actual field diameter of 1.5" at the film plane.

Features of Meade 6.3 4-element Focal Reducer/Field Flattener (41mm diameter) #07049:

• 4-element
• reduces the telescope's focal ratio by a factor of 0.63
• 41mm-diameter lens system
• reduction of photographic ex-posure times by about 50%
