Renato,
Thanks for the reply. I have used a 26mm, 12mm and 10mm eyepiece through
the Helios scope visually. Once I get a focus on that I remove the eyepiece
and insert my CCD, Astrovid 2000 or 35mm camera and attempt to refocus.
That is where I can not get focus again. I have tried to pull out the
extensions on the scope to get focus but it does not seem to go far enough.

Are you suggesting I use eyepeice projection on the Helios?

ED
