Large Diameter Eyepiece Projection Adapter

I'm having trouble finding an eyepiece projection adapter to use with my
Radian eyepieces. The adapter from Scopetronics has the largest inside
diameter that I've seen, but it's still too narrow and too short for the
Radians.

Does a larger eyepiece projection adapter exist?

Thank you,
Kevin

Not sure what size those eyepieces are but Celestron's Tele-extender fits over
my 35mm wideangle ep.

Hi Kevin,

Astro-Physics (http://www.astro-physics.com) has an Eyepiece
Projection Tele-Extender (CEP000) which can be used with radians, tak's
and all those big eyepieces. The only point is that it attaches to 2"
focusers.

Cheers,

Pere Sanz

Hi,

I own the Astro-Physics CEP000 and the matching and required adapter PFCT---
and the Radians will not fit inside. The only eyepiece projection adapters
that I have found that will fit both Radians and 2" eyepieces are made by
Borg:

How it couples to a standard 2-inch adapter? I have no clue.

Now for Afocal projection I use the Tele Vue Radian adapters and they work
great.

Take Care,

JAS

TeleVue makes these to fit the Radians, see three different threads, don't
know if it's in the size you need.

Why not just use a standard e.p. projection adapter with a
good Orthoscopic eyepiece?

The big eyepieces are primarily aimed at impressive views
directly with they eye, rather than for photography.

Thank you, all. I was hoping to avoid buying more eyepieces, but I'll look
into the Ortho option.

The EP adapter is to go between an Optec TCF-S focuser and an ST-10 camera.

I called Televue and was told that their EP adapter would not fit the
Radians which are the smallest diameter eyepieces I have.

If the Radians won't fit in in the Astro-Physics adapter,that leaves me
with the Borg. The Borg adapters look like they will work. If I were to get
the 2-inch adapter, then I could also use my 24 Panoptic (1.25-inch) which
is even wider than the Radians.

Other than the mechanical hassle I'm running into, is there a disadvantage
to using my more visual-oriented eyepieces instead of an orthoscopic?

Thank you,
Kevin

Hi,

None that I know of. Top of the line eyepieces like Radians and Panoptics
have very good optics, and on top of this, there is extra pluses like
longer eye relief and less vignetting.
