Try assembling about 40mm of extension and test it, I think you will find that it will reach focus, even if you have to rack your focuser all the way out. As you build up your eyepiece collection, (naglers are a good choice they come up in the classifieds often) you can use something called 'parfocal rings' to set them all to the same focus point so you can swap them out without refocusing.

Thanks David, I shall try that and see how I go. I'm hoping to get a 31mm nagler second hand as my next eye piece. Not sure my chances but that's the hope at least.
