I've got an LX200gps, and I'm trying to figure out what adapter I need
(if any) to permit use of both the standard Meade microfocuser and the
Meade #644 flip-mirror system.

Currently, I can attach my equipment in the following two
configurations:

1) OTA --> Focal Reducer (or not) --> Microfocuser --> 1 1/4" Star
Diagonal --> Eyepiece.

OR

1) OTA --> Focal Reducer (or not) --> 644 Flip-Mirror System -->
Eyepiece & DSI.

I want to know how to use both the microfocuser and the flip-mirror at
the same time. I don't see a way to do it without an adapter, and it's
becoming increasingly obvious that I need both the microfocuser & flip-
mirror to do deep sky astrophotography.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
