I measured the actual reduction (in my images) at 0.48 so I am operating at a bit shorter focal length than I would like. I could remove the nosepiece from the camera to shorten the spacing, but want to keep the camera airtight.

My question is, is there somebody in Oz that supplies shorter T-thread adapters for SCT's? I need something closer to 30-40mm long.

You could try Mogg Adapters, there is a link to their site on these forums, he will do custom machine work for hourly rate, send them an e-mail with what you want and they will give you a price.
