Is anyone using the Canon Rebel XTi/400 with the Astro-Tech 66 ED/APO? I'm having trouble getting the scope to come to a focus with the Canon XTi attached. I've only tested terrestially but tried to focus on objects about 1/2 mile away. I've tried a variety of extension tubes (Orion, etc) but don't have enough in/back focus (depending on adapter tube I'm using). I'm trying to find a combination that works both terrestially and astronomically. Any details on the exact hardware and brand would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
