Hi,

Just received my 200Pds and HEQ5 pro package just have a small question regarding the supplied 28mm eyepiece.

I setup the mount and scope for a quick viewing of the moon with the supplied 8mm 2" ep, for about an hour I couldnt get the ep in focus. After looking at the accesories that came with the telescope I noticed an adapter that again was 2" in diameter, it appears that this allows you to put in-line filters inside. Once inserted prior to the ep and inserted into the telescope it appeared that I could now focus (actually quite amazed with what I saw). My question is does the 28mm ep need this adapter infront of it as there seemed to be no way of getting focus without it, but seems a little odd that i cant just drop the ep in the scope and start viewing.

Thankyou folks.
