Unlock the full potential of your telescope with the Altair Lightwave 0.8x Reducer! Enhance your astronomical experience by achieving wider fields of view and reduced focal length, allowing you to capture breathtaking celestial wonders with greater clarity and detail. This high-quality reducer is a must-have for astrophotography enthusiasts and stargazers alike, providing unrivaled versatility and performance. Upgrade your telescope setup today and embark on a captivating journey through the cosmos with the Altair Lightwave 0.8x Reducer.
The Lightwave 0.8x focal reducer gives an 0.8x reduction in F-Ratio for faster exposure times and a wider field for astro-photography of extended faint objects like nebulae and galaxies.
Works particularly well for refractors telescopes of F5.5-F8 focal ratios, however also known to work with RC telescopes.
This flattener gives consistently good results with most refractor telescopes, including the Skywatcher Evostar refractor range. Join our friendly Facebook Astronomy group for examples.
