Meade 3x Tele-Xtender - do extension tubes work with these?

[Robert_T]

Hi All, wonder if anyone had tried this or knows of a link that tell whether adding an extension tube to the Meade Series 5000 3x Tele-Xtender will increase the amplification factor as it would with a standard barlow?

thanks,

Anyone? ....

Don't know Rob but there is a quick way to find out. Take a quick vid with your star diagonal in place but without the tele-Xtender, and then do one with the tele-Xtender in, but put it before the diagonal. Use the diagonal as the extension tube for the trial.
