i don't know the scope, so i'm unfamiliar with the stock eyepieces and daigonal that come with it, so you'll have to wait for a recomendation on a good low profile diagonal from someone else if needed .

I may have missed that though.
A 1.25" mirror diagonal may work if you are using a 2" diagonal, if not the next step is a 1.25" prism or there is a eyepiece adapter that lets you get about 10mm more inward travel though it is only good for 1.25" eyepieces.

Has the prism helped?

Re: Meade 5000 102ED F7 eyepiece compatability?
Using the Meade 5000 series 2" Mirror diagonal an Meade series 4000 - 40mm eyepiece came to focus at 3mm from inward dead stop.
sing the Meade 5000 series 2" Mirror diagonal an Meade series 5000 - 9mm eyepiece came to focus at 6mm from inward dead stop.
Using the Altair 2" Prism diagonal an Meade series 4000 - 40mm eyepiece came to focus at 6mm from inward dead stop.
Using the Altair 2" Prism diagonal an Meade series 5000 - 9mm eyepiece came to focus at 14mm from inward dead stop.
Using the Altair 2" Prism diagonal an Svbony 10 - 30 mm zoom eyepiece came to focus at 14mm from inward dead stop.
I didn't test the Svbony with the Meade Diagonal.
The Altair Prism Diagonal is a definite improvement and will probably prove satisfactory in use. I will not come to any conclusions about the series 5000 eyepieces until I have at least one more to test with although early indications are promising!
Thanks for the support, I mau update this in a week orso.

If the mirror diagonal works with your 80mm I would not bother buying a second prism.
Prisms to not always work with every refractor and can degrade the view if not compatible.

It has an after market, 2" x 50mm long body, Feather Touch focuser.
I can get
all my eyepieces to focus with a
camera to prime focus.
Use a Televue 0.8 X reducer flattener, I don't have enough in-focus.
A non-reducing flattener works fine.
If I ever want to use the reducer, I need to cut the tube down. Grrrrr!
