All done except Finder.....

I would prefer a 1.25 Baader Diagonal but the 2" will have to do for now.

Col.....

Took the Scope out last night ..... unfortunately I have lost too much ' in travel ' ( using the adapters and 2" Diagonal ), and I cannot get any eyepieces to focus ....so it's back to sourcing a .965 to 1.25 Diagonal

Col..

Hi,

OPT in the states have a series .965 eyepieces. They're standard Possels with stepped down barrels and they're not that expensive. I bought a 25mm one for my old 114mm reflector and it works quite well.

Website is https://optcorp.com/collections/0-965-eyepieces

I believe that .965 diagonals (along with those truly awful .965 Huygens) can be picked up on ebay or Amazon.

Cheers,

Thanks anyway, but I'm not after .965 eyepieces

Col I doubt you’ll find a 0.965 to 1.25 diagonal without modifying a 1.25” diagonal - probably a Baader with removable nosepiece so you can use a custom nosepiece (I have done this before)

The 0.965 EPs I have are vixen and rather good so don’t rule them out
