Model: ae_adptr_1015
Suitable for use with Skywatcher ED80, ED100 and ED120 telescopes.
This useful adapter fits neatly between the flattener/reducer and M56 threaded drawtube of the Skywatcher focuser (so it doesn't affect the camera's ability to achieve focus) and accepts regular 2" astronomy filters.
I purchase this as I introduced a 2" L-Enhance filter onto my .85 reducer, as without it I was unable to use the filter as the threads did not line up. It also minimally affected my back focus
It fits in between the .85 corrector/flattener and the linx astro M48 adapter on the focus tube but there is not enough inward travel to get focus. I was looking forward to using my 2" Optolong L pro on the 72 but as usual things never work.
Response:
We do not list the 72ED in the compatible telescopes list for this reason. Recent versions (since late-2019) of the 72ED have a shortened telescope tube to help with inward focus travel, so are compatible with this adapter. You are welcome to return your adapter for a refund.
