WANTED: 1.25" extension tube for Skywatcher ST80

[Octane]

Hi there,

If anyone has a 1.25" extension tube that they don't need, so I can use on my Skywatcher ST80 to reach focus, please let me know.

Regards,
Humayun

Hi Humayun, I had problems getting a 1.25" extension tube. But what I managed to use was a old 1.25" camera adapter one of those cheapies of ebay that also let you use a eyepiece for eyepiece projection..
Just cut off the T-thread end near the 1.25" internal bit and that gave me a 35mm extension tube...might be worth doing if you can`t get one..
cheers Gary
