Focal Reducer Troubles

Hi All,

I posted this question before but it didn't get answered so I'll post it one more time. I just purchased my focal reducer (f/6.3) and tried it out saturday night. I have a 12" LX200 GPS w/mircofoscuser. I attached the FR to the rear cell then my microfoscuser followed by a standard 2" diagonal and I couldn't get it to reach foscus. And I mean that I ran out of travel with the course foscus knob. Someone suggested that I move the FR to the other end of the microfoscuser which I can do but how or what do I use to attach the diagonal? Did anyone else have this problem? I need help sad please! BTW: everything I'm using is Meade equipment, I can't believe that they would sell something that didn't work wink.

Thanks,
David Pope
