    I have barlowed a 6mm giving x333 on Mars it was a really still night and I could see the ice caps clearly and surface features.

    Thank you for replying and posting the link looks really interesting. I use a 2" diagonal on my 100rs had a bit of trouble with higher mag eyepieces so I got a different 2-1.25mm adapter. https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/baader-low-profile-eyepiece-adapter-for-steeltrack.html Had no problem since.

    Just to jump on this how hard was it to align the focuser once you swapped it. I'm thinking of using a skywatcher dual focuser with mine I just need a adapter plate making do you think this would be easy to do please. Best Wishes Paul

    Right that looks like the original R&P I thought you have fitted a different one. I fitted a skywatcher dual focuser to my Meade 127mm. I have fitted a bigger focuser wheel to the TAL to aid fine focus.

    Dave did you fit the 2" R&P focuser if so could you please pm me how you did it as I would like to do that with mine. Cheers Paul

    As I have not had that problem I would not know sorry, I thought about changing the focuser on mine but I believe its near impossible. I changed a ropy focuser on my Meade 127mm to a Skywatcher dual focus one although I had to get a adapter plate made £130, its fabulous now though. Best wishes Paul

    I have the 100rs when I tried to use a 5mm eyepiece I did not have enough infocus although I use a 2" diagonal so I bought one of these and I can barlow the 5mm now. https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/baader-low-profile-eyepiece-adapter-for-steeltrack.html
