I don't know what your scope design is, but you will probably have the RCC1 hanging into the ota a fair way and you may need to move the mirror forward a bit to move the focal plane out and get the RCC1 out of the input column of light.

whatever, it'll work fine when you get it set up

Hi Ray,
I can get it to focus with an eyepiece - at least I did with a 40mm extension.
I have to get this to work with my imaging train to use my QHY9m camera
+ varilock spacer + OAG + filter wheel.

cheers'
Allan
