I'm sure there is some easy and well known solution for this...

The gear:
Celestron C80ED
Stellarvue Binoviewer w/ 1.9 corrector pair of 23mm and 15mm

The problem:
I can't reach focus with the binoviewer. I seem to be running out of in-travel as the more i go in, the closer to focus I get, but still some distance off. Do I need an extension of some sort for the focuser? Thanks for your help.
Mark

Mark,

Do you use a diagonal with your refractor? Also have you been attaching your corrector before the diagonal (closer to the scope) which I believe is the proper orientation?

Before buying a diagonal, try calling Harry Siebert at Siebert Optics. Let him know what the problem is. He can probably help you out with one of his OCAs and at a very good price.

Highly recommended resource.
