Thank you for that!

I will give you news as soon as possible.

Let's wait. Look at the results of using afocal NV and their consequences. Time will show.

He wasn't necessarily planning to use it mainly with a TV67 (cfr. earlier posts in the thread, even I have stated it has limited use although if you really want more surface brightness at the cost of AFoV it's not impossible), but screwed onto an NVD in prime.

Which, I suspect, will work fine but may mean using only the top hole of the filter slide (unless the trusses are shortened, and the consequences were discussed earlier, amongst others in post #16).

Hi

I finally received the Nexus a little while ago and was able to use it last night!
A fantastic night by the way thanks to the Northern Lights which covered France all night!!
This feedback to say that everything works very well, Dob 20" with NVD in Prime + Nexus without conflict with the MoonLight filter drawer and the filters in place without having to resort to the top hole without filter...
This gives great possibilities with the Prime +/- Nexus or +/- Powermate 2x assembly.
Thank you for your answers and advice!
