Thanks John. Do you have a photo of your setup?
Yes, I plan to both guide witht he scope and do some wide-field on its own. It also makes a damn fine travel scope!
Cheers
Chris

The general problem is the 66mm scopes need a 2" SCT diagonal and won't reach focus with a 2" accessory back fitted and a standard 2" push fit diagonal inserted - they won't have enough inward focus.
My alternate mounting method is to take the SCT adapter from the Diagonal and attach a T to 1.25" ext tube and mount the LPI to that.
I do not own a 1.25" diagonal but imaging the problem would be less accute as the light path would be shorter.
BTW I would be very interested to hear of your results with the Toucam on this scope - especially if you are going to use it for guiding?
