As a rough-and-ready technique, that's well known and pretty obvious. It would be great if I had the scope in my hot little hands to use it. But it is still in transit and my reason for asking for someone with a bleedin' tape measure to use it was that I want to order whatever additional extenders I will need when the scope does arrive.

So getting back to my initial question, and without wishing to seem ungrateful for what I am sure was well-meant advice, is there no-on out there with a ED127 set up for imaging who also owns a tape measure and can whack it across the imaging train to let me have that measurement?
