Dave L
Bringing your Celestron 102 refractor?
I picked up a Skywatcher version recently.
Coronado SM90 screws directly on to it.
If memory serves me right, you made an "adjustment" to yours?
Do you recall by how much?
I may do the same to get the binoviewer to work.

Michael,
Im not bringing the refractor, Im bringing the MK67 instead.
As for the mod, I had to shorten the tube by a centimeter or so to get enough in focus, dont remember the exact distance, I had this professionally done at a metalworks to keep everything square. I never tried it with a binoviewer though as this was for imaging purposes.

I'll need to take at least one inch off it I reckon, and possibly more.
