Tweedledee Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Can anyone sell me any 2" tuning rings please? They are quiet expensive for what they are when new. Could do with 28mm, 14mm or any 2" filter rings without the filter. I need to fit my coma corrector at varying positions for different eyepieces.

Doc Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Horrible things. Always lose them in a muddy field and never find them again. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I do have some Pete, I have two 8mm hyperions and use the rings to make one a very cumbersome high power eyepiece. I'll swop them for one of your cheap eyepieces, you know the ones? Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I may have a spare 28mm ring - will dig it out in the morning if it's still where I think it is. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy and Kim. If you want to sell them, just PM me with a price including postage and your PayPal email and we can sort it. Got a .965 Huyghenian and an old unbranded plossl for swapsies, if that's what you meant Andy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but no thanks. I do need a new high mag eyepiece and when I do get one they'll be available, but the es 14mm is next then maybe the 5.5. If you need to try them to make sure your welcome to borrow them. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the loan offer Andy, but I really just need to buy the rings to mix and match. As an alternative to the ES 5.5mm 100 degree, consider the SW Myriad 5mm 110 degree. It is a bargain from Bristol Camera right now... http://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-skywatcher-myriad-5mm-mwa-110-eyepiece.htm Bristol Camera price is £165 at the moment with free shipping, but FLO is £229 - same eyepiece The 5mm 110 has exactly the same true field as the 5.5mm 100 but with slightly higher power and an even wider spacewalk experience. 4 hours ago, Brantuk said: Pm'd Thanks Kim, that one will do for starters I'm still looking for some more spacer rings if anyone has any to sell.

Could do with a 14mm and a couple of empty 2" filter rings. I'm sure it would not be worth your time to make a 14mm Graham, I can get them new for just £11 plus postage. Unless of course you have some kicking around spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
