Skywatcher dob 2" eyepiece converter

[ian_j_kirk]

Hi all,

hope everyone got to enjoy the perseids.

I own a skywatcher 200p dob, and when i got the scope i saw that it had a tube to put in the focuser that allows you to use 2" eyepieces. I have never really paid it much attention as i only have 1.25" eyepieces at present, but i am looking at getting a wide field 2" eyepiece soon, and probably an Oiii filter to go in it. My question is, would a 2" eyepiece with a filter screwed into the bottom of it fit ok into this tube that came with the scope?

My 2" eyepiece fits into mine just fine. Whilst I don't have any 2" filters I wouldn't expect there to be any issues.

Yes it will be fine. The outer diameter of filters tends to be SLIGHTLY less than the nosepiece size (to my eyes anyway) so you shouldn't encounter any probs

Hi Ian, I've done it many times with my 200P, no problem mate.
