Hi Peter,
I think the original poster was just trying to overcome the optical shortcomings of the 2.6x Glasspath or the 1.7 Newtonian corrector with the parts he had on hand. One of his conclusions was the TV 2.5x Powermate might work just as well. I have used the 2.6x Glasspath and agree it is not up to the same standard as the other two.
I bought the TV 2x binoview OCS to use with my Mark V instead of the 2.6x Glasspath but my Portaball can't balance the weight, otherwise I would try it out. Works great in my 5" APO though for high power viewing.
clear skies,
Rick
