Hi all, can any of you helpfull folks tell me where i can can an extension tube for my eyepieces/ccd camera?

I believe Orion do one but was wondering what my options were.

Problem is when i put an eyepiece in my guide scope(cheap refractor ) i do not get enough backwards travel for it to focus.It focuses when i hold the eyepiece just in front of the drawtube so i guess iam in need of some sort of extension tube thingy.

Hope some one can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks:headbang:

If it's not too far out, just ease the EP out of the focuser and then clamp tight with the grub screw when in place.

My reflector works fime with all but my 18mm Ortho. Strangely this one EP needs to 'come out' a bit more. It's not very far and I get round it by just easing the EP out a bit. Doesn't seem worth buying an extender for one EP. With the x3 Barlow, it's fine.
