HTH

Cheers for that Beamish
Sanded some off the adapter on sat, kept trying for fit, kept sanding, then got the adapter stuck in at an angle and it wouldnt budge lol
dont worry, everything I do usualy goes **** up
Ended up having to saw off a small section of the tube, with lots of obsene words whilst doing so, thinking I'de just wasted a good finder and adapter.
Managed to salvage it tho, had it guiding on sat night for a short time between clouds, and also a 25mm eyepiece can be used in it too
