Here we go for the 159th time Poncho. Newbies have been having trouble with the set up on SW Newts for years. I can't understand why instructions don't come with the scopes.
Firstly, you should have a black collar which is labelled "2" eyepiece
adapter". It has two chrome plated screws on the side at the plain open
end. They secure a 2" eyepiece when it is inserted into that end of the adaptor.
On the focuser there is a tube that you slide 1.25" eyepieces into; the tube
screws onto a flat plate which is held in place by two chrome plated screws on the side of the focuser. Undo the screws; remove the plate; put the
bevelled end of the 2" adaptor into the focuser and tighten the two screws on the side of the focuser. You can now slide a 2" eyepiece into the open end of the 2" eyepiece adaptor, and secure it in place by nipping up the two screws on the side of the adaptor. Sounds complicated, but after doing it a couple of times it only takes seconds.
Hope this helped.
