No way. Why would I do this? A 6.3 reducer would take me from 2350mm to
~1500mm, barely more magnification than Veronica (and the same as
Trixie, which is f/4.5 instead of f/6.3, I might add).

Veronica is for “normal” DSOs. Pumpkin is for “large” DSOs. C9.25 is for

“tiny” DSOs. I was looking for a high-mag solution.
