Hi

I have a similar Meade version

Meade Variable Projection Camera Adapter - Review

You may find some of the fatter eyepieces wont fit inside the tube, or if you can then tell me how you did it.

Also, with the eyepiece being further back when its in the adapter, will this

gives the same infinity focusing issues and other t-adapters used with some newtonians

Is this a bad thing i have to say i didn't understand a word of it

[nightfisher]

I think it means if the eyepiece is to far from the tube you might not be able to wind the focuser in far enough to get focus

Bingo

I have something similar for eyepiece projection by Revealation but only seem able to achieve focus with one eyepiece - the 25mm.

I have another one employing a similar principle by Scopetronix. This unit includes a Barlow lens in a cell which screws into the nosepiece if there are in-focus issues. Most standard Barlows have a similar removable lens cell if you need to try it.

Aha! That's useful to know. My cheap 2x barlow has a removable lens, mind you its not very good. But it's worth a go next time I try it out.

And its arrived just in time for wednesday night which is supposed to be clearing up in the evening
