Hi guys, I've been in search of a .7x reducer for my Edge HD 8 for a while, and I noticed that celestron's been making and shipping new full scope packages, but ZERO new accessories like reducers, and T-adapters for them. Any clue whats going on? I could see the pandemic being an issue, but at the same time, they're making entirely new scope packages. If anybody has an Edge HD 8 reducer that they're selling though, please contact me via instagram (same username). I've been looking for one for 8 months now. |

Rich Sky: Those are SCT universal reducers, which are common, and have been in stock for a very long while. Edge HD's need their own specified reducer for each model. These have been out of stock since before July of last year. |

This doesn't really answer your broader question, but if you're looking to get a reducer before Celestron's production catches up, you might take a look at Optec. They have an EdgeHD specific reducer. I have the Celestron .7 for my EdgeHD, but considered the Optec .62 for the slightly larger field. The prices are pretty competitive. I hope this helps. https://optecinc.com/astronomy/catalog/lepus/19409.htm Best, -Kelly |

Thanks for the info, I've been looking into that, but I dont want to have to ditch my normal universal threads for a multi-screw lock mount. Yep. That's a super fair consideration. I just checked and the Celestron reducers seem pretty sparse on the Cloudy Nights classifieds these days too, but might be worth keeping trolling on there. Although, I always seem to show up about 5 minutes too late to actually snag whatever it is I'm looking for. I hope you find one. They do make a huge difference for DSO with that slow, long FL scope. Unless I'm shooting the solar system or using a HyperStar, mine is almost always on. |

I've found one from a friend, he has a buyer atm, but he's giving him till sunday to take the offer, or I'm giving him my very generous 320$ in exchange. Gotta pay high to get one unfortunately, if they werent so rare ATM, I'd go 290-300. |

| Oh dang! I'd like to buy it, but not for 30$ over the US price. |
