ED120 Baader click lock upgrade

[AstroApprentice (Jason)]

Hi All,
Just thought I would share that the Baader 2" click lock M56 for SW is a great upgrade for the Saxon (Synta) ED120 focuser tube for some EPs (TV panoptics, for example), but ironically not for the Baader Mk III zoom! The click lock is thicker than the Synta screw clamp and this reduces the in-focus by ~10mm. Unfortunately this is enough to make focusing the zoom EP impossible, which is a shame as it's my favourite EP. Hope that info helps someone else.
Regards, J.

Update: I recently purchased a WO carbon fibre 2" diagonal and it's a bit smaller than my Skyrover one. This means there is now sufficient focus for all my EPs with the Baader click lock installed on the ED120. Swapping the diag for my camera is now very simple.
