Unique Adapters for special Applications

Sometime the original solution of the factory is not the best one for your needs

special solutions

We produce among other things also different adapters which result in new solutions which are not intended by the manufacturer in such a way. Sometimes you just need such a solution to get exactly what you want out of your instrument. Often it is just a simple solution, sometimes it is the combination of components from different manufacturers looking for new solutions. Working as an amateur ourselves, we always get to such points where one has to say, this can also be done differently.

2" backside - adapter,
for PST Etalon unit

The ERF will have a free diameter of 25 mm, Near the focus us OK to get a good field of view. But the blocking filter at the eyepiece side is only 4 mm, so the field of view is strong limited.

2" adapter,
for Borg 7872 and 7880 Redcuer

You have one of the wonderful Borg Fluorite telescopes with one of the best focuser ever, the 2" FTF2025 BRC focuser and use it for visual observation. With the 0.7x redcuer (Borg #7872) it can also be used as an astrograph. But in the original version you must either change the focuser or use a shorter main tube. The backfocus is simply not sufficient for both applications at the same time.

With the 7872 - 2" adapter you solve the problem elegantly: one telescope configuration for both applications! The adapter can be supplied with the widely used standard thread of M48 x 0.75 mm or the Borg thread of M49.6 x 0.75 mm, the backfocus is 55 mm. So the reducer unit will fits into any good 2" focuser.

usable with Borg 71FL and 90FL, the AOK 7872 - 2" adapter replace "spacer L", "M57 rear adapter" and additional "#7000 adapter". Using of #7352 or #7519 is not possible. Regular 2" filters can place in front of the reducer unit if needed. The adapter works also with #7880 reducer for this 55FL-FTF2020 version of this little nice power-scope.
