Pages: 1 Duplin member Reged: 06/23/12 Loc: Eastern North Carolina Meade Series 5000, 2 Inch Diagonal       #5617921 - 01/11/13 08:10 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Does anyone know if the Meade Series 5000 2" Diagonal with SCT Adapter will fit an LX5/2080? I did a search both here and on the Meade website, but I can't find this specific info. Meade.com states that it will fit LT, LS, LX90 and LX200 series, but doesn't mention other models. I really don't want to spend $149 without knowing for sure this will fit my 'scope. Thanks for your time.

The SCT back thread has been the same for a *long* time. I have a '73 C8, and my Meade f/6.3 focal reducer fits right on, as does my generic 1.25" visual back. But, I don't know for sure. Make sure you can return it, if it doesn't work.

I emailed High Point Scientific, they said I could return it for a full refund if it didn't fit...so I guess I'll get one. Have a good day...

You then slip the diagonal into it with two set screws. FYI...the adapter comes in two parts. I use the shorter tube to avoid hitting the bottom of the base with mine.
