I'm looking to purchase a reducer, radial guider, guiding eyepiece and and illuminator. Until today, I was looking at purchasing these products from both Astronomics.com and Binoculars.com. The total cost w/o shipping is $367.00.
Today I checked out Lumicon.com and discovered they have a product called "Easyguider" which combines the reducer and guider into one single unit. The advantage to this device is I no longer need my T-adaptor and I have the option of placing the reducing lense to change my currently F/11 scope to either F/6.3, or F/5. The cost, however is somewhat more. The easyguider is $250.00, and the eyepiece and illuminator is an additional $193.00.
Lumicon is claiming these are the best products available. My question is....Have any of you out there purchased any of these products from Lumicon, and is the extra $80.00 + worth it?
