Vixen 2" NLVW 30mm focus issues.

[ScouseSpaceCadet]

Hi All, I recently purchased a 2" Vixen NLVW 30mm and tonight decided to try it, with problems encountered!

When inserted into a 2" Skywatcher dielectric diagonal attached to the SW Startravel 120, the focuser does not achieve enough inward travel to reach focus.

So, I tried it with the Skyliner 200P and I had focusing problems (resolved see edit below).

I do remember Alan White commenting he sold his because he had the same problem with this EP and one of his scopes, replacing it with a 27mm Panoptic. However before I give in, is there a chance I'm doing something wrong...?

 

EDIT: I've managed to bring the EP to focus in the 200P, by discarding the 2" adapter and not fully inserting the EP into the draw tube, leaving an approx 5mm of the eyepiece bottom on show...
