Does anyone know if you can buy a different backplate for the focuser tube on a Meade DS-90 EX refractor, so I can use my 1-1/4" eyepieces? The scope originally was made for .965" eyepieces (3 EPs, Barlow and diagonal provided with scope.)

Are all the DS-90s this way?

The views are pretty good with the .965" eyepieces, but I knwo they would be much better with 1.25s.

Thanks for your help.
