PRICE DROP: Takahashi image train adapter

I ordered this from OptCorp JUST before I sold my Tak FSQ106 - it arrived AFTER I sold it.

Anyway, it adds the requisite back metal spacing from the Q focal reducer to an SBIG ST camera - it adds a total of 30mm to the image train (this was precise spacing for my ST-8XE, and I believe it is the same for MOST SBIG cameras). I believe that Precise Parts in the USA make these up for TNR/Tak North America and Optcorp. IT will fit any of the Q accessories - I believe by memory the front female thread is 55.8 x 1, and the rear is of course male T-Threaded to fit the front plate of CCD's or a T mount adapter for a DSLR. Item has NEVER been used.

New, it cost a LOT. A LOT! TOO much. Over $200 including postage. Did I ever mention I HATE Takahashi pricing?


I am willing to sell it for $75 including postage globally or interstellar.

NOTE: cat litter and other assorted laundry paraphernalia is NOT for sale
