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

You can do some amazing things! Keep on posting those AWESOME pictures! :-)
Thank you for the kind words , you can be sure that if the sun is shining in one of our locations that one of us will be posting images . Unfortunately we both of us have been clouded out lately
