Infra Red blocking filter

This filter is very useful, especially if imaging in color. Better color saturation and rendition is achieved, if the filter is used. It is mandatory to use it with a refracting telescope, and recommended for composite (SCT) telescopes. Not necessary if using a mirror only telescope (except if imaging in color).

Focal reducer

This focal reducer allows shorter exposures, by reducing the focal ratio of the telescope to half. This is especially useful for SCT and MCT owners, since this types of telescopes normally have a focal ratio above f/10. By reducing it to half, exposure duration is 4 times lower, and the field of view is 2 times larger. Refractor owners will also find it useful. However, Newtonian owners will not be able to achieve focus with it.
