Is there a difference between a Meade f/6.3 focal reducer and a Celestron f/6.3 focal reducer? I own a Celestron C8+ and I'd like to get a reducer, should I look exclusively for Celestron or will another brand work. Do they all screw in/attach the same way?

Thanks...Jeff

There are no differences in the two (Meade vs Celestron). I believe they are made in the same factory with a different name put on. I have had both and they work great. Go for whatever one you can find cheapest smile

You may want to check out Lumicon's version. They claim larger clear aperture and less coma than other commercial reducers. Goes for $100.
