Hi all,
I have just realised that I cannot reach focus with my normal adapters in place and therefore can't use my 1.25" filters. I know I could use a Barlow to help but for bigger objects like some nebulas this won't work.

Anyway, with the following I can't reach focus

1) 1.25" holder with t-adapter (image 1)

2) 2'' holder (image 2)


The only way I can reach focus
attaching t-ring directly to the adapter where the 1.25" barrel would be attached. The inside thread takes the 1.25" barrel and the outside thread thankfully takes the t-adapter (image 3)

My Possible Solution

Is it possible for me to screw the 1.25" barrel into the holder backwards, then use the bottom (silver bit) of the t-adapter inside it with the filter attached?? I would obviously need to find some much shorter screws to hold the bottom of the adapter/filter in place.

I hope that all made sense

Any advice much appreciated.


Cheers
Mick
