Eyepiece Projection

[MeSeany]

I want a go at eyepiece projection - I was able to hold the webcam against the eyepiece and the laptop image did look better than ususal but clearly I cannot use my hand to hold it for 1 min:)

So - any ideas where I can buy a projector like the one below?

I read on a recent thread that FLO have started making custom adapters or accessories at cost price. Maybe have a word with them.

Here, found it.

365Astronomy has them. I purchased the wide version like this one...

There is also one called the Vari-Max which is the largest one available that I've seen and will hold even a 2' barreled eyepiece and barlow.

So that will work exactly like the one in the picture?

The blurb states - The rubber eyecup will need to be removed to fit inside the adaptor.

Ive got skywatcher eye pieces but cannot seem to remove the rubber - do they unscrew?

Would I need to remove the rubber from the eyepiece - should this unscrew?

Usually they sort of pull off.  There is like a lip that holds it on.  The eyepiece has to be cylindrical to fit in.

My revelation astro one works with the rubber cup still on for my 15 and 25 mm Celestron plossls.

Do you have a link where I could buy one? Presume you're a fan of projection?

[Owmuchonomy]

Yes, I use this one.
