Having got fed up with not being able to focus my SCT, what’s new !!, for photography i realised, with the help from people on this site, that the solution or a large part of it lay with a Crayford 10:1 focuser. Yep looked good, bought one today $119 from Bintel. I bought it on the foolish, damned stupid, iditic, asinine, assumption that i had every camera adapter know to man, and some known only to Spock. Thrilled with my purchase I dashed home keen to try it out, mounted it on the scope and searched for an adapter – oops. Oh well a quick look on the web will sort it out. I found a couple of prime/epp units between $89 and $135
. So I can buy a hefty and fairly complicated piece of engineering for $119 and yet an adapter with three threads and three grubscrew is going to cost me the same again. Now I am a tight fisted old scrooge as some of you know, but this is beyond the pale.
I know its less than $100 dollars, not a lot especially when compared with the overall cost of equipment, but right now I almost feel like selling the whole bloody kit and caboodle.
