    Hi all, I have the above camera and filter wheel configuration and am planning on using my Televue RFL-4087 reducer with it. I just purchased the camera and wheel used, a week or so ago, and need some advice about spacing.

    If anyone here has a similar setup or any other advice about how you got the correct spacing and which parts from which manufactures you used, I would be very grateful.

    Also, any other advice that I may have not asked for but you found useful for yourself, would be equally appreciated.

    What scope is it on?

    One bit of advice: Make sure to tie the cables to the scope so that they don't drag or get caught on the mount.

    It's on a 127mm refractor APO with a moonlight focuser.

    Thanks for the cableing advice. I have decent cable management but it can sure be improved.

    I should have included the focal length. 950mm. It is a 2007/8 Meade class refractor.
