Using a spare 1.25 Skywatcher Adapter for DSLR on a Dob

[Stu Ward]

To successfully achieve focus on my 550D and 12 Dob combo I have to use my 1.25 eyepiece adapter, unscrew the bottom off it and attach it to my Canon T-ring.

This make switching from Visual to Photo a pain in the bum.
I often use the eyepiece first to ensure everything is centre view.

So, anyone know where i can buy another 1.25 Adapter from so i can have it permanently on the T-ring ?

Thanks

Stu,

I've just bought a Skywatcher 2" eyepiece adapter, the one that comes standard with the Skywatcher Dobsonians, from Star Optics on the Gold Coast which they're posting to me.

It might be worth giving them a call to see if they can supply the 1.25" adapter that you are after.

Cheers,
Mario
