Paul from my readings on the web it doesn't work very well as the SCt reducers are optimised for the SCT and there field curvature and abberations.
There are cheaper reducers available from Steve Moggs in OZ and Sac imaging in the US have some as well .
Both screw into a camera 11/4" eyepiece holder adapter tube and work at f5 6 ect.
I think but don't hold me to it that they also work in an eyepiece but I am not sure about that or just how good they work either visually or imaging.
The Sac units work with there CCD imagers OK from pics seen .
I think you will need reasonabley good scope optics though as i would imagin using them with an acromatic refractor especially a short focal ratio will only magnify the acromatic abberations further.
I also think TV have different reducers for different focal length scopes
