Hey there Kepp

Sounds like the distance between the rear of the reducers back lens and the cameras focal plane is too great. I had a similar problem on my C8 until I found a t-threaded adapter that was a lot shorter than the standard ones sold by Meade and Celestron. I ended up using the barrel off of a 2" GSO SCT diagonal, which breaks down into a tube and thread just the right length. Call Mike at Bintel in Sydney - he's got a box full of these barrels on the shelf.
