Has anyone done this? I have just gotten one with a Moonlight crayford 2-speed, and the denks dont come to focus.

Hi Peter,

You will need an OCS or an OCA to reach focus. A barlow will work also but the magnification will be high.

The typical setup for a refractor is to place a barlow or magnifying element in front of your diagonal with a focal reducer attached to your binoviewer. If you leave out the focal reducer you should still focus but as I said the magnification will be high.
