Paracorr question

[stanlite]

does anyone know if the new type two paracorr will fit directly into a 2inch focuser or is it larger ??

Yes, see specs on this page http://www.bintel.com.au/Astrophotography/Reducers--Correctors--Flatteners/TeleVue-Paracorr--br-Type-II--2--/689/productview.aspx

Not all.
It wont fit completely into a skywatcher focuser.
There is a mod to machine the lip of the focuser.
Otherwise it makes it difficult to achieve enough inward focus.

As requested, photos:
I believe the newer style SW focuser may be slightly different design,
but on mine (from Andrews) the lip to be filed down is on the bottom of the photographed ring that screws onto the end of the focus tube.

The eyepiece adapters attach to this ring.
