Oh something else I did forget to mention with it. A long time ago I ordered a very short back focus TS 1.25" 90º diagonal but it wasn't until it arrived that I realised that it had a M65ish thread and not a M68.
A few months back I had Joshua Bunn make a M68 to whatever thread the diagonal uses in the hopes that it would allow me to use the telescope visually.

I did manage one night to test it and it didn't quite reach focus with Meade 60HDs. It is close but missed it by that much; to quote Agent 86. Removal of the rotation ring or saving back the 1.25" barrel would allow it to all be used visually but this is more effort than I care to make.

So, this also comes with a 1.25" diagonal that almost works
