Any chance of a picture, just want to see it's profile, any chance you could
take a couple of measurements? mainly the height of the focuser with the
drawtube all the way in and then again with the drawtube all the way out.

Yep, sure. On my way to work now so I will try to get some pics tonight.

Distance from the mounting plate to the end of focuser is

- retracted = 65mm.
- extended = 101mm + another 8mm of travel if you lossen the locking knob half way. This is a little trick for owners of the meade QX 26mm EP that will not come into focus.

- Mounting plate is 90x90x15mm.

Pictures submitted.

Thanks Matt,

Unfortunately my current focuser has retracted min' of 110mm. I would have
to try and modify the scope too much.

thanks for posting the info & pics

Not that it matters, but does it have a 1.25" adaptor?

Sorry, but it is not being sold with the 1.25" adaptor.

The price has now been reduced to $70.00 ($60 + postage $10).

Thanks Matt,

I know the pictures dont show it, and you only state 2". But for those
it may of been better to state that it doesn't come with it standard 1.25"
adaptor. Most people seeing an ex' LB focuser may not notice as I did
until very late it had no 1.25" adaptor. I think if me or someone had brought
without noticing, I would be wanting my money back, a 2" focuser is pretty
useless to most without a 1.25" adaptor and your Advert does fully inform
the buyer.

ie: - A must have upgrade from a R&P.

but your old R&P is more versatile as it has a 1.25" adaptor so I dont think
your focuser really is as you state above.

Basicly, I'm just saying you maybe should make the advert a lil more clear
in regards to what your actually selling, as it looks to me your were kinda
hoping no one would notice.

regards,CS sunny days, G' luck with your sale

Good point Rob,

I recently bought a new focuser which didn't have an adaptor so I am using the one that came with the Light Bridge.

My apologies.
