He promptly threw the adapters back in the box.

In general you need to use the appropriate spacing rings to attach to any eyepiece, though there are a handful of Televues like Radian, Panoptic in 1.25" that you can make a generic 2" adapter and fit the 1.25" EP straight in.
well, the Paracor is nearly $649 from what i can find online, and if i get that, then i am as well to sell the OTA, put the paracor money towards it, and get something else.

Although i am sure an 8' F4 reflector would be great for someone, special doing photography, it might very well appear in the classifieds soon.
