Hi All,

I have a problem I would like to kick around.

When I place the F/10-f/7 focal reducer and the Pictor416 on the back of my 10" LX-200 F/10 SCT, it *just* clears the fork arms.

I have a problem with focusing, which is always difficult on a SCT anyway, in which I have "solved" by using a helical focuser. Regretably, this doesn't clear the fork arms and I have already had a problem with the scope jaming and had to press the "mode" button very quickly to abort.

Is there anyone using secondary focusing equipment out there? What are you using? How good is it? Do you have any clearence problems?
