Full Disk on DMK 21 Sensor with SM 60

I have tried this before and never hit the right combination to be able to achieve focus , a few days ago I got lucky . What I used was an Antares 1.25" 0.5X Focal reducerhttp://agenaastro.com/antares-1-25-0-5x-focal-reducer.html
With this I used a 20mm   "C" mount spacer in place of the nose piece that came with the camera . This allowed the camera to sit very close to the eyepiece holder and spaces the F/R in a correct position .

Here is an image shot today using this combination for the first time with my DMK21
