Moonlight focuser and GSO 8" f/4. Backfocus problem??!?

Hello,
I want to replace the stock GSO 8" f/4 focuser with the Moonlight CR2.
I intend to use this setup with the Baader MPCC and a DSLR 350D camera.
Does anyone here know if I will have back focus problem?
Thanks

Depends on how tall the existing focuser is, and what height the replacement is, in my case a Feather Touch was actually lower than what I started with so I gained. Do some measurements. Does the 350D and MPCC work at the moment?

I'll be interested in your findings - i'm looking to get a 8" f/4 at some stage in the future for deep-space photography.

I thought it was in-focus that was missing though, not back-focus (ie: not being able to travel in far enough)?

Yes. You are right. It is in-focus. Thanks!
