The FSQ106ED handles the Proline with the reducer no worries although it uses a specific adapter in a bucket shape in that it fits inside the drawtube back up inside the scope.

It was a bit easier with an Apogee U16M which must have the chip just that little bit closer to the window and it didn't need a bucket adapter.

Greg,did you have a 2.7"focuser on the FS128 you had?or was It the 4"focuser?

Anyway,I wasn't surprised when I pulled the ML out of the box....my first thought was,the 2.7"wont handle It.

I'll have a look at the tension and hopefully that will do the trick mate....wish they built these with 4"focusers,cause then my GPDX would have no hope.....any AP600's around?
