Do you get focus for the stars in this configuration?

I am asking as I'm having trouble getting star focus with a very similar configuration (the only difference is that I use a 45 degree correct image diagonal).

I ended up using a simple mirror diagonal with a Bintel 32mm Plossel, but this has no correcting image.

Pwilly, I do achieve focus, I don't use either of the two spacer rings that came with the unit though

Thanks Rod.

I just checked! YES you can unscrew the spacer ring. I wasn't aware of this and thought it is one metal peace (maybe I should have looked in the manual).

You made my new year!
