catman161 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Hey guys does anybody know where I can get a 25 or 30mm version of the 2 inch eyepiece adaptor pictured below? I need a shorter one so that when I use my powermate with the webcam I can gain focus more easily. At present I have to put the powermate directly into the focuser tube and pull it back slightly so that the entirety of the powermate is only half in the focuser tube. Help appreciated.

dawson Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm on my phone so not sure the link will work, but does this page show what you are looking for: http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/index.php?cat=c125_Adapter-----to-1-25----24-5mm.html&sort=&XTCsid=01f80dc0ec15fc144e57739162eeea72&filter_id=39 James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Not quite Paul-the adaptor still needs to accept 2 inch eyepieces but thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh, you want to put a 2" eyepiece into a 1.25" scope? Sorry I thought you meant the other way around. I'll get back to my tracking issues James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Felix, I'm afraid your stuck with it - nasty stock SW focusers ..... talk to Graham though, I'm sure he can make you something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm not sure graham is able to make stuff at the moment Stephen as he was gonna make me a parallelogram mount recently but couldn't due to problems with his work/machines. Thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get back to my tracking issues James Hey James, nope it's a two inch focuser draw tube and two inch adaptor. The opening on both ends of the adaptor is two inches. I need one just like the one pictured but just a shorter length Edited February 20, 2013 by catman161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks though. He's up and running, send him a PM Assuming that's the stock Skywatcher 2" (useless and redundant) 2" adaptor, there's no after market solutions with that taper on the bottom ...

Brantuk Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 You could always fit a low profile focusser Felix. http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-focusers/skywatcher-dual-speed-low-profile-1252-inch-crayford-focuser.html Go on - you know you want to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
