SW100ED, Reducer/Flattener & Filters

[Chris M48]

Hi again,

My Reducer/Flattener is screwed directly onto the draw tube of my SW100ED with a connecting ring to my EOS DSLR.

Question is how do I fit any of my 2” filters?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris. I used to go with your current configuration but then purchased this:

You can screw 2” adapters onto the end of it.  You will need to reattach the 2” holder bit back onto the focuser tube.

As an extra I added this:

https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/baader-click-lock-2956256-m56-celestron-skywatcher.html

It screws directly onto the metal drawtube.  This is very secure and also easy to rotate camera or swop over.  It eliminates the original part (which isn’t very safe imo)

Nice one Adam,

using that option, I could add a short spacer before the adapter and have a 2nd filter if and when needed.

Top man. Thanks
