I have also just purchased one of these and searched for the correct distance. There are 2 versions. The old one had a longer fl so the distance was longer to the camera. I think they changed the focal length some 5 years ago.
Sccording to meade here http://www.meade.com/accessories/premium/index.html
the ideal distance is 45mm. This is quite hard to achieve if you have anything other than the camera in the way.
