Zwo low profile nosepiece dimensions for PST imaging

[Elp]

Hi, anyone got the above item, I'm after the dimensions, specifically from the external flat face to the end of the nosepiece.

Unless you are insistent on owning the genuine article, you can make your own.

I cut off enough for my needs [adding GPCs] and smoothed the face of the shortened tube on sandpaper.

I didn't bother to blacken the cut edge. It is always hidden by one of my GPCs. [Used as a Barlow.]

EDIT: A search suggests that the genuine ZWO, low profile adapter, does NOT locate the ZWO's protective window/filter.

My shortened adapter retains the protective window.

Further searching suggests the low profile ZWO adapter is discontinued.

Check FLO for an inexpensive T>1.25" adapter for you to chop off. Leave enough pipe for a firm grip in your focuser.

I threw a wobbly when I discovered some GPCs weren't true 1.25" Ø! So I modified my focuser to have three radial thumbscrews for a firm grip.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I can and have designed and 3d printed my own so I can literally make any dimension, I want to know the length of the nose so I can fix a focal reducer (1.25 inch SVbony 0.5x) to the top so it focuses onto my sensor image plane (224mc). For use in a PST.

Yes Pete thanks, already downloaded it last year, since then I have modelled my own version and printed it. Can't really experiment more until the sun rises higher during the clear days.
