Most Newtonian reflectors don't have enough in-travel in the focuser to allow you to reach focus with a prism inserted, though a few might. Still, there are drawbacks to long focuser tubes on Newts--they stick into the light path when racked in, and require a larger secondary mirror if focus is placed waaaaay out of the tube, as it would need to be for a prism to work well. |
