I guess the solution is to buy one of Bintel's 35mm extension tubes, which will have the added advantage of allowing me to attach a filter and then change eyepieces without removing the filter each time.

Anyone else had this issue?

Hi,

Yes, this was also a problem with a pre-loved Bintel 8" Dob I got. There were no Televue or Pentax eyepieces came with it either *sniffle*.

So I got a Bintel 35mm extension tube, and no problem since, except still no
Televue or Pentax eyepieces *snuffle*.
