New reducer on the McDonld 82"

[Jimi Lowrey]

I had the pleasure to go up to McDonald Observatory this week end to test out the new focal reducer for the 82" telescope for first light with it. The new reducer makes the 82" a F/8. M3 looked like a open cluster :-)

What do you think of the new reducer? Is it a as good an addition has you imagined?
