Maybe with a scope that is already an F6.3 you don't get that problem. Mine is an F10 normal and an F6.3 with the reducer I couldn't imagine adding another reducer to it, probably wouldn't work too well to double reduce mine to get 3.3!

I looked again and it is a Celestron reducer.
I have not had my scopes set up for over a year.
The light around here is sooo bad I have to travel 25 miles to get to dark skies.
