adapter for attaching a 2'' Crayford focuser to a Skywatcher OTA

Needs some tweaking!

( 2 / 5 )

I bought this adapter in order to put the Omegon Focuser Newton Hybrid Crayford Dual Speed 2" on my Orion 10 inch Dob. Since the Orion Dobs are made by the same company as the Skywatcher it was the perfect spacing for the holes that were already in my OTA. Very straight forward and no new holes to drill! The difficulty came when the wider adapter rubbed against the knobs of the focuser. In future manufacture of this adapter, I suggest making cut-outs or indentations on both ends of one side of the adapter to make room for the knobs. That change could have saved me 2 hours of trial and error tinkering with a file to make my own indentations.
