Default 2" extension tube was: Long 2" to 1.25" adapter

Orion has one. Type "extension" in the search field on their home page.

You could glue the two together and pretend that they are one piece. :-)

Lumicon used to sell all sorts of tubes. Often these tubes were sold for
the purpose of allowing for filters when using unthreaded eyepieces. You
might try the second hand dealers. You could also buy a used 2" Barlow and
remove the optical elements.

Thanks Del. Yes I thought about that. But I'd prefer the long adapter.
If I can't find one, I'll get an extension tube. BTW do you know a
good source for 2" extension tubes? Thanks.

Tom.

You could easily couple a 2" extender tube with a regular 2" to 1.25"
adapter.

Anybody know where I can get a long (about 2.5") 2" to 1.25" adapter
threaded for 48mm filters. Alternatively, anyone know where I could
have one of these machined from aluminum? Thanks.

Tom.
