Meade 10" LX200R on Losmandy G11 mount

[alandee]

Hi Tony,
I just got my WO focusser for my meade, your piccy shows it married up pretty close to the OTA, but mine seems to sit back about 4 or 5 mm ( like it's not screwed all the way in, but it is ) do you have an eye opener back or something ? or have you modified the rear thread of the OTA ?

I'm not happy hanging my camera or 2" wo diagonal and ep off of something not sitting up nice and close

Any thoughts ?

ta,
al.

HI Al,

I have the standard thread on the back of my LX200R and it also has a few mm gap....dont be concerned with this...the williams optic focuser has a heap of thread that it is bound too and believe me is very secure.

I have my Canon 350D hanging of the back of the focuser plus extension bars and a reducer making the camera sit a good 100mm back from the focuser....there is no movement or concern to be worried about.
