The reducer shortens the focal length of the telescope and is therefore also called a focal reducer. This makes the optics "faster" for photography and the image brighter. It also increases the field of view.
Since a stronger signal is captured in the same exposure time with a reducer, you can expect a higher signal-to-noise ratio and thus better detail in your images.
This reducer reduces the focal length of the VC200L to 1,278 mm and enables a faster aperture ratio of f/6.4. The higher aperture ratio allows you to achieve faster results in astrophotography.
The reducer is also fully coated to ensure the highest possible light transmission.
