Peter, With this new filter wheel I have and the extra adapters needed to attach the cameras to it, I couldn't get the camera in far enough to gain focus. It already has a low profile moonlite focuser and knobs instead of screws on the primary mirror which I didn't want to replace with longer ones so I had to cut the tube to bring the primary mirror closer to the camera. I've moved the focus point further out of the scope.

Paul, the tak is a very nice scope and takes really sharp snaps but it just doesn't have the legs for shooting galaxies. This thing just sucks in bucket loads of light, just a pity it's so long and heavy. I think it will be useless with a decent breeze blowing.
