The equinox range was made by Long Perng who I'm to believe do OEM for a few of the larger brands out there such as William Optics, TS etc, so I'm sure they've made an adapter for your Skywatcher.
I'm not so sure...had a look at their site and under the 2" refractor focuser section it says:

Quote:
The EON / Equinox / Sky Watcher flange fits Orion's EON 80 & 120 APOs, Sky Watcher Equinox 60, 80, 120 APOs, and the Astro Tech 80ED. It is a female 3.274" X 1mm threaded flange. The correct drawtube is the 4.5" travel.
I have to laugh, there were 4 models in the Equinox range and I picked the One that doesn't appear to be supported...I know Ron says he can machine any flange to support pretty much any scope, but that non off the shelf stuff usually costs significantly extra...adding further to my financial woes.

and there are so many options, I don't even know what half the options mean or do lol!

But, I guess I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and Email Ron. I better work out all my questions in the One Email so as to not pester him too much...

Thanks again for the reply.

Dave
