Back Focus

I have been practicing my CCD imaging skills for a few months. I have actually managed to work a method for finding my target visually, and then swapping the EP out and the CCD (MX5C) in. It can be done, but it requires extra fiddling etc.

It's a C8 (f6.3) with a JMI-NGFS. I have a Meade flip-mirror system, but getting it assembled and FOCUSABLE is problematic. Not enough back focus?, worng order of components, too many components?

I look forward to creative suggestions.

The sky will be GORGEOUS tonight finally (Boston) but of course IT'S A FULL FRIGGIN MOON! A good night for problem solving.
