About this product
Model: baader-q-turret-2957010
Part Number: 2957010
Insert your favourite Ortho or Classic eyepieces into the revolver for a variety of magnifications at your fingertips.
This handy accessory fits directly in place of a single 1.25″ eyepiece. Then, four of your favourite eyepieces or even an astronomy camera can be quickly and easily rotated into position. The compact design has a short optical path length of only 38mm, so it can also be used with some Newtonian telescopes.
The barrel is also threaded for use with 1.25″ astronomy filters, so you need not change filters over every time you change eyepieces.
Eyepieces, barlow and camera, are not included.

Well made but problems focussing 13 November 2024 | Ron
I bought this mainly for use with my Skywatcher 200P Dobsonian. Unfortunately, there is not enough inward focus on the scope to bring any of my eyepieces to focus when using the turret. I temporarily got around the problem by using a X2 Barlow but this is not ideal. I haven't yet tried the turret with my other scopes.

Useful gadget for various telescopes. I use it as a kind of zoom lens holder with one high mag eyepiece and a second very low mag eyepiece.

Made of engineering plastic. It has a thermal expansion of 1/4 that of aluminum and is lightweight. I am very satisfied.

The Q turret is made of a plastic material.
Feels cheap. Otherwise Ok.

I use this turret with my 12” Dobsonian for which it is excellent. As there is no change in weight going from one eyepiece to another, I can balance the telescope perfectly and run with the absolute minimum friction in the altitude bearing. I must say however, that for this money I would have been happier to see the unit in metal rather than plastic, especially the eyepiece collars.
I have to mount the turret in a Revelation 2” to 1.25” self centre adaptor, as my focuser will not travel far enough inwards to focus using the normal eyepiece holder. Apart from this, the unit works perfectly with no problem accommodating filters screwed to the eyepiece bases.
