Thank you for reaching out! The focus reducer is not mandatory, but it can significantly improve the sharpness and field of view. If you're experiencing difficulty achieving a sharp image with your 20mm, 15mm, or 10mm eyepieces, there could be a few factors at play: Eyepiece Quality: The quality of the eyepiece can also affect image sharpness. Make sure your eyepieces are suitable for your telescope. Focusing Technique: Try adjusting the focus carefully. Sometimes, even slight adjustments can make a significant difference. Atmospheric Conditions: Keep in mind that poor atmospheric conditions can impact clarity. If the air is turbulent or there's a lot of humidity, it might affect your viewing experience.
