Hello everyone,
i still dont know which correctore/reducer i should use.
ATM i have a beautiful modified C11 with primary mirror block to avoid mirror shift so i just bought an ioptron iafs electronic focuser.
i have a celestron OAG and Player one poseidon m with filter wheel.
i dont have enough backfocus touse the starizona 0.7 sct corrector.
sooo C11—ioptron iafs focuser—?corrector/reducer?—oag—-filterwheel and camera
with this configuration i have the space to have enought backfocus
any suggestion for a good one?
ty in advance

Is it the mirror block that prevents you from changing the focus position?

Ideally the corrector / reducer needs to be mounted on the scope before the focuser, because the farther out your reducer is from the back of the scope, the less "reduction" you will actually achieve.
I was not aware of that iOptron focuser. Is it a test unit? I used a Baader diamond steeltrack focuser with EAF on the back of the corrector, and that was short enough to achieve focus and have enough backfocus using the Starizona LF reducer/ corrector.

I get that but is there a reason why you can't move the focal plane by slightly changing the primary to secondary spacing as you would in a traditionally focused SCT? Even if it changes the reduction It would be worthwhile to get everything to work, at least until you can find a better solution.

I get that, what I was asking is can you adjust the locked position of the primary to push the focal plane outward, then re-lock the primary?
