The 6.3 celestron and meade FR are a bit different. You can use them for visual 'cos they are so big, though you will probably find distortion using long FL eyepieces, especially widefield ones.

The 1.25" FR from Bintel and Mogg are specifically for small CCD use. I have used it with ToUcam size chips up to 1/2" diagonal chips and the 1/2" I though were pushing the limits of size with minimium distortion.

The 6.3 should work fine with your Starshoot, infact it you can get an extender to move the reducer further from the chip you will increase your reduction ratio.
