As an alternative there is another lens that can go in there that shortens the focal length. All the info is on the Astrodon website.
Greg, I'm not sure how the backfocus distance of the RGH differs from the ST402, do you have to go closer, or further away?
If closer then remove the lens at the bottom of the helical focuser. Further away, check that it's there first, then buy a 1.25" eyepiece extender.

Stuart,
The helical focuser supplied with the MonsterMOAG does not have any sort of barlow lens at the bottom of it, its simply straight through.
The helical focuser supplied with the MOAG does.
There is no mention of the removable barlow lens on the MonsterMOAG specifications.
However, there is mention of an Optional f/-250 lens to extend focus by ~ 12 mm, just saw that now, I am pretty sure that was not there when I order my MMOAG, but I could be wrong.
Cheers
Mark
