Sweet. Got the washer tonight and it works.

Whilst having crayford on the back of these is far from a necessasity it does make foucusing easier, especally at high mag (or a webcam) where the image jumps around with the movement of the mirror.

UOTE]Hi Woody, I got my local small engineering firm to make me an adaptor ring for my 180 mak and it works perfectly . Cost me £20 but it was worth it. Simple ideas are always the best. Robert Bruce.

Hello.

There is now a good adapter available for this.

I love this forum!

Does anyone know if these adaptors are still relevant to the new 150 maks? The thread is a few years old and I've heard that skywatcher have changed the thread?

cheers
