Thanks for the welcome!
Actually, the eyepiece is the one that ships with the scope; that's why it confuses me that it doesn't work "out of the box".
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised at how helpful they were, and that they're sending a fix free of charge.

That's pretty good service to get a barrel extension free of charge just because you happen to have EPs that don't play friendly with the scope. |
