I have an 80mm that came with the telescope but am looking for shorter ones to facilitate connecting eyepiece turret, 1 1/4 eyepiece adapter with a diagonal, etc. Anyone know where I can obtain these. I look on the boards and APM for used Zeiss components but I would be interested in a source for newly made products also. Suggestions? Bob Post Extras:       Mike E.

If all else fails contact crawmachine and have one made.

I was aware of Baader options. I should have mentioned it. Just looking for some alternates if available. Appreciate your response.

I don't need any extension tubes on any of them when I use the Zeiss turret or 1.25" eyepiece adapter and 1.25" diagonal. Clear skies!

What is your setup like? Bob Post Extras:       Mike E.

I was looking at Baader adapters to come up with a combination to use with the Baader 1.25" Quicklock eyepiece holder, but haven't quite figured it out yet ?

Thank you very much!

How tough is that going to be to find? Any ideas?

I still am having trouble with the focus on mine.
