Variable eyepiece projection adaptor for large 1.25" eyepieces - 2" telescope adaptation
The Deluxe Projection Adaptor is a particularly high quality solution for all telescopes with 2" focuser.
It accepts most eyepieces with 1.25" barrel, including medium sized eyepieces that would not fit into a regular projection adaptor. Examples of this would be 32mm Super Plossls or 1.25" WA eyepieces.
The VPA2 is a modular adaptor. Each of its individual parts can be very valuable on its own! (See below)
Advantages of the TS VPA 2:
- You can use almost all 1.25" eyepieces, in particular those with a slightly larger body than normal.
- The T2 adaptation can be extended for fine-tuning of the projection distance. A larger distance translates into a stronger zoom factor.
- The eyepiece can be locked with two locking screws that tighten a compression ring.
- The individual components of this adaptor have a lot of additional applications.
Possible adapters:
- Adaptor from 2" to 1.25" with integrated T2 thread and compression ring
- Adaptor from T2 to 2" with compression ring. Allows you to attach 2" accessories to adaptors with T2 thread
- Adaptor from 2" to T2 - prime focus adaptor for adaptation of T2 accessories to 2" focusers
Our expert comment:
Which eyepieces fit this adaptor?
A classic 1.25" projection adapter only accepts very narrow eyepieces of the Kellner and Plössl design. However, most modern eyepieces have a much larger outer diameter. What can you do? The 33220 projection adapter is suitable for this purpose. Your eyepiece may have a maximum outer diameter of 47 mm and a maximum length of 46 mm (without plug-in connector). If the eyepiece becomes thinner at the top (up to a maximum taper diameter of 37 mm), it may be 61 mm long. Please also refer to the sketch.
