Guest Fluke Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 The focuser on my second hand Dob should have come with 2 adaptors, a 2" and a 1.2". The seller says he lost the 2" one and at the time I didn't think it would be a problem to get a replacement... So far neither RVO or FLO have been able to help. Can anyone help as I really want to start my 2" eye piece collection? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I got rid of mine, sorry. Keep an eye out on ABS and eBay, they do come up fairly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Will have a word with the mother in law - She has got one with her 130P, I`m sure she is using the 1.25 inch adapter to use with her Badder Hyperion zoom but can't remember, will check and let you know.

Guest Fluke Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Cheers Daz. Im not 100% sure though if the focuser aperture / adapter size is the same on the sizes smaller than a 300p. Does anyone know? RVO gave me the impression that they are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Yes, but I am running mine with a 2" adapter on as it is much more stable in the focuser. When I used the 1.25" adapter, it wobbled about all over the place, did not feel sturdy at all. Edited October 2, 2012 by Daz type-r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 yeah it is a bit like that I must admit, but with the 2" i have trouble tightening the screws as they are very close to adapter Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm with Daz on this one I go with the 2 inch adaptor using the Hyperion zoom. Just feels far more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnC Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Need a 2" adapter for my hyperion zoom. Can you get them seperate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Mine came with it. Assuming you can buy them seperate, no idea where from, Badder themselves?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 http://www.opticalvision.co.uk/ These are the importers I believe. Could try there, see if they will source and sell direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fluke Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Sort of... Thats what RVO sold me but it didn't fit the aperture left by removing the 1.25" adaptor. I've contacted Optical Vision direct on your suggestion and they're going to sell me one to be certain I get the right size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgolder Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 are you still looking for this adapter? is it the one that fits in the hole larger than a 2" fitting? if so i have one knocking about as i changed the fitting on my 300p to be the standard 2" one when i got my Coma kit for my 130pds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Here's what you want : http://www.f1telesco...p?id=2464= I was contemplating a Hyperion Zoom eye piece... This looks interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 You won't be disappointed Craig, probably one of the most versatile quality eyepieces on the market. They deliver great views of pretty much every object out there. I don't know anyone not happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
