Once you have the SCT male thread at the back of the Mak, then you can use the SCT focal reducer. Of course, since the SCT focal reducer is not made for the Mak, there may be abberations introduced. Pray that all abberations are at the edge :) And hopefully there is quite a big field of illumination...

Hi, I am actually in the process of asking Astrobargains to get this item for me from Scopestuff. I should be able to tell u within 2 weeks if he can bring this item in or not.

Together with the 2" SCT visual back with compression rings, the Maks will expand greatly in versatility.

Hey Thanks to all. Let me test the Nugget with respect to 3 mounts: SS2K, Sphinx and EQ6 with Synscan. Will keep you all updated.

Other reviews will be coming along. Maybe next time I try to write imaging articles in the context of case studies :)
