TS-Optics 1.25 inch and T2 adapter for 8x50 finder scopes from GSO, Teleskop-Service - autoguider adapter

TS 1.25" Adapter for 8x50 Finder Scopes from GSO and TS-Optics

This adapter converts the 8x50 finder into a guide scope. In just a few simple steps, your finder becomes a compact mini guide scope for astrophotography. With suitable guiding cameras, you can guide focal lengths of up to 1000 mm. The adapter is divisible. It consists of a short transition adapter to T2 external thread and a 1.25" adapter with the matching T2 internal thread. The 1.25" adapter has a ring clamp with a brass ring. This ensures a gentle but stable clamping action.

The following finder scopes can be combined with the adapter:

Straight 8x50 finders from TS-Optics and GSO. The combination is only intended for mini autoguiders, i.e. cameras with 1.25" body diameter, as the focus of straight viewfinders is only about 10 mm away from the 50 mm internal thread.

8x50 angle finder from TS-Optics and GSO. The focus here is about 59 mm away from the 50 mm internal thread of the finder. The distance from the 1.25" receptacle with the attached T2 thread is therefore about 37 mm. With suitable T2 extension rings, you can also adapt cameras with a T2 threaded connection.
