you might try a 2x 2 inch Barlow, which should get to focus without moving the mirror (1.25 is too small). will give you additional magnification, but that should be OK on the moon and planets. Barlow will also help with your "bunch of Plossls" - they will work a bit better with a reduced light cone angle (higher magnification though). I have one of the GSO 2 inch Barlows - something like that should be suitable. If you know anyone with a Barlow, try it out before purchase just to be sure that it will work with your scope geometry and focuser design - and that everything fits.
