Hi,

I have a Meade 10" SCT and I also have no issues with focus using the 6.3 FR.

I use a Moonlite focuser with the large flange that screws directly to the back of the scope, it has the .95 draw tube and the focal reducer screws inside this and only screws on one way so you can't get that wrong.

I have heaps of travel in both ways in relation to focus from the telescope itself. Then I fine adjust with the Moonlite.

I have also used the small flange with a 2" diagonal and the focal reducer this time was put after the diagonal and before the camera. Again, no issues with focus.

One thing mentioned is the distance from the camera to the FR. On my scope, the distance is about 110mm but the only thing the distance is for, is to how close to 6.3 it is, It does not have an affect on focus from my experience in this situation.

Cheers
