First light new ED127

My new ED127 arrived on Wednesday.
Took it out for a trial last night. Seeing was OK but high clouds rolled in.
Just for a start went for something easy. Eta Carina 4 x 300s ISO800 1000D PHD guided with ED80 on EQ6. DSS and a little curves and levels in PS. Auto dark subtraction no flats.
Camera straight into focuser. Unfortunately, I wanted to use the Meade focal reducer/field flattener but could not reach focus with them, any suggestions? Will a Moonlite focuser help? Don't want to cut the tube, that's for sure.
Thanks
Frank
