QHY8 to Skysurfer v Adapter

[hayju01]

Ok silly question time :-)

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a spacer/adapter that would connect my QHY8 to my skysurfer V?

All my spacers/t-adapters are male to female and i need one with two male ends as both bits of kit has internal threads. Can seem to find answers with net search.

TIA

Any ideas?

If you need more to be able to advise please ask.

Thank you

I don't believe the Skysurfer V magnifies, what are you trying to accomplish?

I see yOur point and it probably means I am trying to accomplish the impossible.

But to be sure I was hoping to use the Qhy/Skysurfer as a guide setup but I guess that's a nonstarter.

To the best of my knowledge, yes non starter I'm afraid.

Look on ABS for a 9x50 finder (about £35 quid)

You may need to speak to Bern at Modern Astronomy about an adaptor to connect the QHY8 though as I've never heard of that being used as a guide camera (not to say it can't!)

Hope he comes back with something soon (he's on holiday till 23rd)

Thanks for your help
