3. the difference between the two measures is the amount you need to move the mirror up.

Hi Ray,
The RCC1 only adds about 5mm to the focal length even though it's very long.
I don't see how that would work.
I'll just make the aluminum sleeve & do it that way.
It will be handy if I need to upgrade the RCC1 too.
cheers
Allan
