Focus problems with Starwave 152 mm

[usingen1]

I am using a Baader Hyperion 36 mm 72° eyepiece with the Starwave 152mm Refractor and cannot get focus unless I use extensions for visual - for imaging it is imposible. Any Ideas ? Ernest  Ernest

If you are using the 36 in 1.25" mode with a 1.25" diagonal it could explain this?

No, not using it at the 1.25 setup, that would defeat the purpose of the 2" eyepiece, for visual I am using it at full 2" and need spacer rings to use it with the stock 3" focuser without any flattener/reducer combo-just the original tube/barrel assy. for Imaging it needs 3 x 40mm spacers to even get it near the camera sensor focus. Any ideas welcome. Ernest

I use mine with 2" diagonal and a selection of eyepieces from 6mm to 31mm without any problems.

In straight though imaging mode I need 2 X 50mm extensions to reach focus.

Okay, then I am not alone, I was trying to find another way to do this but I guess that's the way to go, thanks.
