Location: Deming, NM		I saw an astro-mart ad for a 6" Orion F/9 RC scope. I almost bought one of these a year and a half ago but opted for the 8" AT F/4 instead. For my Sirius mount the 6" RC would be a lot better than the 8" but I really need the larger FOV of the F/4. anybody know anything about a FR for one of these RC scopes?

The only thing I've seen used with the ATRCs is AT's 2" field flattener. It does a great job with the inherent field curvature, but it's just a flattener. If you belong to Cloudy Nights, you might want to post this question on the Cats&Casses section. Lotta' guys there with ATRCs.
