yes, but it will only come to focus if the focal point is within the adjustment range of the focuser
*for some reason or other, this is better tested while aiming for a distant object a few km away
the scope is designed to image objects in space - it needs to be tested on things that are a long way away or you need to calculate compensating focal distances
* the T thingies don't have an optical effect (well, none that has to do with the focal point, anyway)
they do add a bit to the back focus distance though
