This replaces the gold tube of the PST to allow fitment of the 'black box' into a 2" focuser as part of the modification procedure. The other requirement is an energy rejection filter for the OTA. The adapter is now sold pending payment - thanks

Mike,

To give you an idea what it looks like here's my home made version.
Second pic show PST etalon attached, last one mounted in Skywatcher focuser.
You can see it "in action" in the last pic.

Interesting, thanks.
I sure would like to change the focuser in my PST.
