Re: Axial Port adaptor? - choices?

The 1 1/4" slip fit adapter has too much slop in it to work effectively with the Borg helical focuser and nosepiece. A tight screw fitting would align all the pieces and hopefully get rid of the binding that occurs so the helical focuser would work smoothly.

I can gently lift the helical focuser into alignment and it works smoothly. If the helical focuser "hangs" there is binding when I try to focus. The slop in the setup is caused by the screw fittings using a nosepiece instead of precision threaded couplings.
