Here's a little trick I used for increasing the focal length to allow using a star diagonal.

Most of the good quality star diagonals have a thread in the attaching tube and it is the same thread as the lens in a Meade/Celestron barlow. This increases the focal length (at the expense of increase magnification). Making a pseudo Barlow like this saves having to actually use a barlow.
