Lognic04 (Logan) · #1 25-07-2018, 05:02 PM

Hi all,
I am looking to get a 20-30mm variable t2 spacer for my setup, as the takahashi spacing guide seems to be a bit wonky.
I can find baader and telescope service adapters, great! But, the price!!! SHEEEZUS!!!(and shipping cost is the same as the bloody adapter!

)
So, anyone know of a t2 variable spacer, 20-30mm?
Even a custom machined one would be great, especially if it costs less than at least 70 bucks!

Thanks all!

Bintel has an orion 12 to 17, but still 60 bucks! eesh!
Anyone happen to know the range and specs of the bintel one?

I think the idea is to use the variable spacer with one of the fixed ones. I got one of these https://www.bintel.com.au/product/bi...-locking-ring/ and coupled it with a $20 Chinese 5 piece spacer set.

Good idea - I have a spacer (16.5mm) i could probably pair the variable one with - i think that would do the trick.
I will just wait for bintel's info to be sure (id be stuffed it was like 2mm of extension!)
