RE: [APML] Meade/Celestron focal reducers

["Lane, Jason R" <jason.lane@navy.mil>]

Hi Duncan,

Didn't think of Vixen.  I'm curious because I'd like to include the focal reducer in my telescope's Zemax model (optical CAD package), and want to know if what I think it might be is actually on the right track.  Really nothing more than idle curiosity.  

Cheers,
Jason

I suspect that they are the same as well. I'll bet Vixen might have had 
a hand in the design but that is just a guess based upon Vixen's past 
ties with Celestron. Why are you interested?

cheers
