Where to buy Meade accessories?

I want to buy a #62 T-adaptor and the Pentax mount for it.

I found a web site in the US that sells them:
(http://www.buytelescopes.com/product_list.asp?m=2&t=68)

I would rather buy from an Aussie store/web site, I don't mind paying a bit more than the US prices. I live in Brisbane but work out near Longreach where work has a Meade LX90 telescope we can use.

Thanks for that, I just rang and Bintel has the #62 T-adaptor but the Pentax K mount T ring will not be in stock for another 2 weeks. I will find the ring somewhere else.

You can get Pentax T ring from eBay from fotodiox_gear for A$16 including shipping. I just received one. About 7 days to arrive.

Try contacting Steve from Myastroshop. He may well have both in stock.

I can't find that user on ebay, have you got a URL to your sale so I can follow it to the user?

Thanks, it says that it is a T2 type adaptor, does that fit on the #62?

I don't know, I'm still looking for Meade #62. But it fits to my K100D Super and the T tread on Celestron refractor and to T tread on 75mm extension tube I got.

Well I might just hold off buying either until I can confirm that adaptor will fit the #62.

I am a photographer interested in astronomy, not the other way around so I will just hold off and spend my money on something else photographic if I am not 100% sure it will work.
