You could try eyepiece projection, and then you would only need an
eyepiece projection adaptor, and you could use EPs between 20 and 40mm,
so you would have control of your focal ratio.
Here are a couple of EP projection single frames I took many years ago with an 8" Newt;
forgotten which eyepiece.

I think Kevin was thinking more about DSO imaging than planetary. As I mentioned DSO imaging with a 2x didn’t work well for me. You don’t get enough photons landing on each pixel due to longer focal ratio at same aperture.
Nice EP projection images too !!
