Description

Although during strong air turbulences, inspired by curiosity, I tried a 1.25" low-cost 0.5x reducer from Kasai Trading (originally GSO) on the camera's nose piece for a mosaic with the C8. The half moon suffices with eight panels, ultra-fast exposure time of 3ms and 172fps frame rate. Not too bad while the reducer does not seem to reduce the C8's quality. The C8 is a fine scope but it does need calm air.
