I had the Meade 647 flip mirror fitted, with a Meade 30mm Plossl in the viewing port. This eyepiece is parfocal with the ToUcam in the imaging port, so I could find and centre the objects. Even so, it was a little tricky as with the Vixen x2 Barlow plugged into the ToUcam, the FOV is only 2.3 x 2 arc mins.

Cheers
