Is extension required?

I would guess Google is the best way to find out. Cloudy Nights, Stargazers Lounge or FB RC user group being the immediate suggestions. My RC8 was also bought used back in 2011, and IIRC, the corrected baffle version came out much later than that, but I don't remember when.

I sent you dimensions of my baffle on P2 of this thread, but I guess you have to remove the rear assembly to get at the baffle and see if yours is the same. If it's longer, then I would suspect you have the newer version.

As I also mentioned earlier, I don't even know if I had any of the bright-star reflection problems, just decided to put in the extension as insurance while I had the scope in pieces.

I also think that with a little determination, the ~10g extension could be inserted from the front without any disassembly.
