Re: Axial Port adaptor? - choices?

The Borg focuser is a helical focuser that is put in-line between the Questar and the camera. It makes focusing MUCH easier than screwing around (pun intended) with the Questar for fine focus. So I have put the Borg helical focuser inbetween the camera and the Questar. It is having these slip fittings with the screws to hold things in place that are problematic. I'm trying to find threaded adapters to replace the slip fittings so the entire optical train is more stable, the "flex" is less, and also minimize the probability of having one of the fittings loosen resulting in the $870 camera falling to the ground.
