Vixen Pulsar 102M Refractor

[mike.brightmore]

My Astro Society has an old Vixen Pulsar 102M refractor (FL=1300 mm). I've given it a good clean and it has made a very reasonable telescope. Trouble is that it takes 1 inch barrel eyepieces. Does anyone know of an adaptor to enable it to take the standard 1.25 inch EPs?

First Light Optics might be able to help - they are now stocking Vixen accessories and have a good relationship with the main Vixen supplied in the UK, Opticron. From the catalogue I have (last years Vixen one) there is a 36.4mm to 31.7mm (push fit at that end) adaptor that might be the one you want - it's reference is 73720 EA.

Hope that helps.

Excellent scopes by the way - I used to have the 102mm F/9.8 version and I currently have a Vixen 102mm ED F/6.5 refractor.

At nearly F/13 the views with yours should be excellent !.

Thanks John, I'll give FLO a try. I'd love to try this scope with a decent EP or two.

Just emailed Opticron and the adaptor is the one mentioned by John. Thanks again.
