Thanks Erick that seemed to help a lot.
Do you know what the purpose of this extension is, just wondering when you are meant to use this extension.

Will let you know how we go tonight.

Cheers

See this thread

where this was written:-

"When I put the scope together, I attached all of the parts that came with the scope, following the manual. One of the parts was an adapter/extension between the scope and the eyepiece which looked like it had to be fitted (all the diagrams in the manual show it fitted). Using the 10mm and 25mm eyepiece I could never achieve focus.

Erick pointed it out and removed it and like magic, the problem was solved. After a slight collimation everything was perfect. I am kicking myself for never even trying this, but to be fair, I thought that it had to be fitted to the scope in order for it to work properly."
