WO Binoviewers to Baader T2 Help

[Mick H]

Hi, I would appreciate some help here please.

I have the WO Binoviewers and want to get a setup similar to this for my NexStar 8se:

Please see pic.

I am about to buy the Baader Prism Diagonal T-2 / 90 Degree 32mm and the Baader SCT T Adaptor Ultra Short 10mm Optical Length.

Now I need help with adapter for when I unscrew the Binoviewers nose piece and attached them to the Baader Prism Diagonal T-2.

I have Maxbrights and generally use a quick connection system but my bvs just screw onto the male thread on the diagonal (mine is the prism one)

I wonder if the WO's will do that?

Then I would not need an adapter.

You can get an adapter on eBay . M26x0.75 to T2. Get the locking ring also. Got the info elsewhere on SGL a while ago. Thanks Andy

Thanks Sky-seacher, delivered between Sept - Oct.😡

Just cannot seem to find a T2 female to M26x0.75 male thread adapter for binoviewers in the UK.

Had a look at them a while ago as I have a WO binoviewer & a TS T2 prism. But I use a dual rig & like to swop the binoviewers & eyepieces in the 2 scopes, so it’s too permanent a fitting in the diagonal for me (also use a GPC on the nose). I remember that you can only get from Russia for some reason & just had a look a delivery time, a bit excessive 2 months.

I don't think you will find any in the UK. It isn't a standard part, it is a custom part made specifically for converting a binoviewer like yours to T2. (Assuming that is the right thread for your binoviewer)

Thanks Ricochet, yes it is the right thread.

Oh well.

Sky-seacher, what is a GPC on the nose? 

And what eyepiece holder do you use?

GPC is glass path corrector. Mine is a 2.6 x Barlow that shortens that focus path by around 180mm (same as binoviewer adds)  so I can get focus on my 80mm frac with 2” diagonal. I use my t2 prism on a Mak & have a Baader t2 1.25 micro focuser as eyepiece holder.

Looks like I'll have to go down the T2-1.25 eyepiece holder route for now.
