Hi,
Long story short (long story included below for the curios) I need to get someone to make me a custom adapter. Is there anyone in Aus that you can recommend? Ideally it would be someone local (Sydney) that I can go see as I don't want to send away parts of my scope and not see them for months. I found: http://moggadapters.com.au/astro/adapter.asp whilst Googling but can't figure out if he's in Aus or US and if you can visit him.
Long Story Version:
I got myself a crayford focuser for my Mak Cas a week or two ago and managed to attach it to the eyepiece barrel with a SCT to 2" eyepiece barrel converter. This works fine except for one miscalculation/oversight. The adapter, the eyepiece barrel, the focuser and my diagonal make a long long heavy connection to the back of my Mak. This results in the wobbles at high mags that are more annoying than the image shift I tried to overcome by buying a crayford :sadeyes:. This is why I want to eliminate some of this with a custom thread adapter.
For the ultra curious my previous post on SCT adapters and my Mak:
