Product Description

1

You know the situation-you've clamped your precious eyepiece using the locking screw on the focuser. But instead of sitting precisely in place, it is tilted or even worse-the screw marks and damages the barrel. But this doesn't need to happen, there is a solution: the Twist-Lock adapter.

1

High Quality Metal Aluminum

The adapter is made of anodized aluminum, which is Firm and resistant.

1

Twist-lock Adapter

One twist, and your accessories sit firmly in place, the adapter now clamps it over a large area of around 15mm.

1

Standard 2" Filter Thread

Save money when buying filters-A 2" filter thread offers the option of using a 2" screwed filter, even when using a 1.25" eyepiece.

1

Self-centring 2" to 1.25" Adapter with 2" Thread

Put your 1.25" eyepieces or other accessories one: Turn the lock-ring and your eyepiece now sits firmly anchored in place. It is gentle with the accessories and yet clamps them in place with incredible force. Use Twist-lock adapter as a high-end reduction ring.

1.25" Eyepiece with 2" Adapter-permanently Locked

Suppose you are observing with some 2" eyepieces but also have a favourite 1.25" eyepiece you want to use. Instead of constantly having to fiddle around with adapters, you could simply use this adapter together with the eyepiece and use it with a fixed 2" barrel.

Great concept from an engineering stand point. This is an ideal quick-fix for converting from 2" to 1.25" lenses. Very Impressed with the product and service.

This is an updated review...The first one I received was DOA and would not tighten to hold any eyepieces.Alstar sent me a new one after I returned the first one. This second one works as expected and holds my 1.25" eyepieces and collimator. Thanks for quickly addressing the situation and sending me one that works!

It seemed to hold the eyepieces but it's top surface stands prowder in the diagonal than my original adapter and eats up a little of my in focus keeping some euepieces from coming to focus. There is also oil working out of the twist mechanism and I worry that it could get on eyepiece snoots and from there into the snoot cover and up inside the snoot, or down onto my diagonal mirror.

First of all, Firmly and Gently HoldsMy Eyepiece and 1.25inch camera adapter located center position almost.It is durable, easy to operate, and can be used for many purposes, but there are some lubricants.I am generally satisfied.

This works great and replaced the cheap adapter that came with my 80 mm scope.
