Gentlemen,
You have again quickened my learning curve! Of course, once you describe it, it is self evident the tube must be larger than the objective! The Focuser I purchased is the larger Bintel Crayford @ $250. I also purchased a Meade 4000 56mm, these two items are the LAST Astro items I am going to be buying for a very, very long time. I have spent quite a bit of money but over all I am pleased with the result.
Matt, the internal measurement is 112mm, cross checked verified etc: you maybe able to see one of the three screws that retain the Focuser, indeed it was just as you described!
Cheers
David

I purchased the Meade Eye piece from B&H Photographics in the States. I purchased it direct freight was about $17 Aust all up about $70 odd Aust. This is half what I would have paid elsewhere! Take a look at the price of scopes! I believe this may create waves within the Aust market place. It is a bit of a worry.
