2 inch Compression holder for Skywatcher 80 Pro

[PeterN]

I have a Sky watcher 80 ED pro (gold series) which has the original crayford focuser with the black 2 inch holder which has two thumb screws in it I would like to replace it with a compression type but am unable to find a suplier who has a unit that will fit on the draw tube on the sky watcher. Does any one know of a unit or suplier that will fit.

many thanks,

Peter

There might be one on this supplier web page to do that job:

262 Adapter ... auf 2' Steckhülse - Teleskop-Express: Astro-Shop + Fotografie + Naturbeobachtung

They ship to the UK and give good service.

Thanks John,

the only one I can see that may fit is the Bader unit but at 72 Euros is a little to much. I will keep looking and may be consider a whole new focuser with 10:1 crayford and compression fitting.

Thanks,

Peter
