great stuff!!!
in my 10" straight from the shop, there was not enough inward travel for me to use the 1.25" adapter and the toucam. Moving the secondary mirror a couple of turns closer to the primary mirror and i was right. a 2.4x barlow and the toucam works well too.
with the 40m eyepiece proection, make sure you can return it if it does not work. I had a lot of trouble trying to achieve focus with the eyepiece projection combos from telescopes and astronomy in SA. They were great on that i got a full refund, but be warned.. i could not get it to work in a 10" reflector.
I believe i needed a longer extension tube.
i now have a digiscope which clamps to the eyepiece and then the toucam is also attached so that it is a camera mount
