The variable adapter would allow you to take that up to 55mm and THEN you screw in the MMPC. Have I got that right?

QHY8 CCD chip have a distance of 7mm from the chip to the top of outside casing or ~21mm from the chip to the nose piece, therefore you will need ~34mm of adapter spacing to the MPCC.
