Dean, I am reading this on the website under description if this is what you currently have: IMPORTANT INFO: We designed the telecompressor so that it threads directly into the drawtube, thus placing

Hi again, I have built an adapter at Precise Parts for this. I have attached a pic off their build page. My question is will this be too long overall for the focuser to support? Will I be able to
