That's my next step if I can't get any info here. I have no specs on what the SW focusser can handle, but the little flip mirror is just an el cheapo Ebay special, and the 1000d body is quite light. I'll try it again tonight with a smaller EP, which BTW, are also 1.25, not 2" (Hard to fit in a 1.25 hole)
I've seen all the horror stories here of mounts and focussers as they come from the factory, so thought it would be good to investigate the SW one before I invest many hundreds $$ in a replacement.
