I dont want to shorten the OTA if i can't use the rig visual as well as photographically. I hope to be able to take pix that are as good as yours.

Hi Steve, thanks mate. re shortening your 12" tube, have you tired a low profile focuser? with my 10" F4.7, i too can't reach 'infocus' so i got myself a low profile focuser GSO. however, there is a lot of play regarding this focuser esp when using a DSLR due to the weight of it so you have to tighten the set screw as well as the locking screw up. can be very frustrating when trying to focus.
