I am using a Celestron 102GT (500mm f5) with 2" diagonal. I received this scope today with my Burgess Bino, My plan was to install drive on a good sturdy tripod and at some point replace the OTA with a short tube APO. In playing around with this set up I found I could not rack the focuser in far enough to achieve focus with the binos with or without a 2X Barlow. I had expected problems with out the Barlow but not with. With out the Barlow the BBs almost come in to focus just as I run out of in travel and adding the Barlow just seams to make it worse. Is the Burgess 1.5X Relay Lens going to solve this type problem or should I go with my first thought which was to shorten the Optical Tube by 1.5" ?
Any input would be appreciated.
