God I love astronomy where every purchase is fraught with danger of x not fitting y.

In this particular case my QHY filter wheel needs an adaptor to fit Atik OAG. Atik has kindly provided a system chart here (http://www.optcorp.com/pdf/Atik/GeneralSystemChart.pdf) (which doesnt help).

So apparently I need an adaptor to fit M54(FW side) to fit the off axis guider which has female M-54 threading on both sides.

Experts can correct me if I'm wrong.

My question is where do I get this from? :shrug:

P.S - The rain in Sydney is not my fault.

Gama lists a Male to Male M54 adapter on his web site in accessories.
I've never seen one in the flesh though.

I use that one from Gamma on my FSQ to QHY filterwheel, seems to work ok. It is a 2 piece job tho, allows u to take off the filterwheel etc via the 3 screws.

Just a heads up I sent an email to precise parts and they have the exact adaptor I need. M54 to M54 T thread.
