The Baader filters arrived today and so did the clear sky!! Set it all up tonight and guess what - not enough inward travel on the focuser!! Back to square one.

I'm planning on some longer primary colimation bolts to move the primary mirror closer to the secondary. The thought of hacking 10 mm off the end of the optical tube sounds too permanent.

The other option is a low profile focuser although I've heard there's a bit too much play in these. Does anyone have one and what is your experience with it?
