Baader EarthWin Filter Power Diagonal Version 2 UPDATE

A number of members commented on the first version of the Baader EarthWin Filter Power Diagonal. I have had some time to redesign what I felt it was lacking as a multi use tool.

My issue with the Version 1 build was that whilst i could use 2" eyepieces, my Binotron / Mark V could only be by adding a 2" nosepiece which wasn't the ideal short light path I wanted.

So back to the drawing board I went.

The current Version 2 has an amended docking collar / dovetail adapter. This was so that i could use a Baader Quick Lock dovetail on the PFS side, so that i can remove or add, the Clicklock assembly as required.

Best of both worlds, Bino attached directly to the PFS with the shortest light path possible, or Baader Click lock assembly for use with 2" EP's.

First light will be later this week.
Thanks for look and your comments.
