No way to reach focus with C9 with binoviewer and reducer?

Hello experts,

was anybody in this big wide world successful to reach
focus with this setup.

My attempts with a Celestron 6,3 reducer/flattener and
a Baader-Widefield-Binocular were unsuccessful by far.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much,

Reinhold

Hi:

The easiest solution is to use the Denkmeier Starsweeper. Reasonably priced,
good images, and it can be threaded directly onto the binoviewer (if it has a
2" nosepiece) or onto a 1.25"/2" adapter. The Starsweeper also works very well
for single eyepiece viewing. It's more convenient to use if I think I might
want to switch back to f/10 over the course of the evening, so I rarely use the
Celestron Reducer/Corrector any more. For the 6.3 r/c you have to work, you'd
have to rig some means of reducing the spacing between it and the binoviewer.
