I have no experience with the generic reducers. I see others reporting a lot of aberrations in the outer sections of the FOV if you look closely. I suspect your friends would not notice this. Only way to find out is to put it on and give it a go.
Yes, SharpCap is quite a steep learning curve. But, it is the best, once you master it, IMHO. I overlooked another option in my earlier post. Given you are using ASI cameras, I suggest you download and try ASI Studio for image acquisition and stacking. It is a simple, no fuss solution with a minimal learning curve compared with SharpCap. It will produce good quality images that will wow your friends with a much shorter leaning curve.
