How to connect sky-watcher focuser and focal reducer to C8 sct

[AstroRookie]

Hello,

I recently purchased a sky-watcher focuser for my Celestron C8 (1997) sct together with a focal reducer. The focuser threads on the sct and so does the focal reducer. But how do I use both of them together. What I've found so far is, that one must first attach the focuser to the OTA and then the focal reducer to the focuser . But I can't see how I can attach the focal reducer to the focuser. What kind of adapter would I need?

Thanks,

I have seen a SCT to 2" nosepiece; [I think] at/from http://www.scopestuff.com/

The only 'work around' I have found is: from the 'scope --> FF/FR --> Cr. focusser. Not sure if that is the correct way or whether you gain anything.

I have a similar issue with directly attaching my Crayford focusser to my 're-modded' ETX105 (image below) as the 'scopes focus knob and shaft are in the way and I will need to get an SCT extension tube or two.

This adapter did it!
