When a good bit of British Engineering makes my day
Hi there All,
recently I bought some parts to allow me to use a 1.25" binoviewer
with my PST, so I was somewhat disappointed to find that the binoviewer
thread was a different size and pitch to the adaptor thread.
Anyhow, searching through the astronomy equipment small ads, I found
AstroParts. A quick measure up and a drawing later I sent the idea off to
them
and, bingo, a few weeks later the adaptor was made.
Brian Brooks is a very helpful chap - good workmanship too!
With the good weather, today, I've now tested the set up and it works! -
nice
to see the Sun in Stereo / almost 3-D.
If anyone wants to see a picture of the adaptor rig, contact me off-group as
the
image is 70+K. I'm happy to supply a few more details about thread sizes
too,
if anyone wants to go down the same route.
regards
Robert
