Toucam and eye piece projection

Has anyone played with the toucam and this eyepiece projection adapter. quote

"The adaptor is of the common type which replaces the eyepiece in the telescope's focuser.
These adaptors allow an eyepiece to be placed into the Adaptor for Eyepiece
Projection Photography. The adaptors have a T Thread which screw onto the
ToUcam T Thread Adaptor."

I assume the eyepiece 6.5mm, 12.5mm 25mm etc fits into the adapter and the T thread adapter gets screws over the top.
The question is "If my toucam with the lens taken out is acting as a 6mm eyepiece, does adding another eyepiece in this adapter, given me more magnification or less?"

I am keen to take wider views with the toucam, which i was thinking the eye piece projection would be the go, but now not sure. I am also thinkin of leaving the lens in the toucam and adapting a connector to fit over the lens and around a 1.25" eyepiece or a 2" eyepiece. To try and capture what my eye is seeing when looking thru my lenses.

Any thoughts?
