I still have a focus problem with eyepieces mate, but prime focus with the camera hanging off the end seems no probs. Bintel rang me today on my email and said they would send me an extension tube to fix the problem.
I'm gonna go to my uncles tonight and use his lathe to turn one of my own anyway. I have some aircraft grade allie round bar and tube at home.
I have to make a counterweight bar too now.
Other than that little hiccup, I am extremely happy with the ED80 Skywatcher overall.
Baz.
