The obvious problem is that I've now turned my F5 scope into an F10 scope - but its better than trying to figure out a way to move the mirror up the tube a couple of inches!

G'Luck!
Will have to try that.....
The T-adaptor assembly I bought from Andrews actually has a barrell for an eyepiece, so ep projection worked quite well, apart from CA from cheapo ep..... so am on the right track anyway! may have to give the barlow a go though....
It would be nice to be able to leave lenses out of it, and get no false colour
thanks everyone for your comments.....
