Can someone please advise me on a focal reducer for a Celstron 6SE 'scope. I have seen a number advertised but they list all scopes except milne!

Do you have onlythe 1.25" visual back? If so you are stuck with 1.25" refugees, any would do. If you can change to a 2" back thatwould be better as there are more options, there are screw on sct types & threaded ones which screw between the camera & scope

Thanks Daniel, yes, I have wondered abut a 2" visual back. Is there any dif or advantage when using a 2" eyepiece (without reducer)

Does the scope have an SCT thread on the rear cell?
The 1.25" visual back you have; when it's unscrewed from the rear of the scope does it leave a 2" threaded section?
If so, the the Meade/ Celestron SCT x0.63 reducer should fit this thread....
