AP MaxBright 1.25" Depth?
I just got a Maxbright PDMAX and 1.25" ADA125 adapter. I have a
Televue 2X 1.25" barlow and am wondering if I can use it without hitting the diagonal mirror. The TV barlow's depth is 2.2" TIA, Joe |

AP MaxBright 1.25" Depth?
Hi Joe, My TV 2x 1.25" barlow doesn't hit the mirror of my Maxbright. However, some of my AP 2" to 1.25" adapters are a little thicker than others. They came with different AP OTAs over several years. I suggest you look into the Maxbright from front and slowly and carefully insert the TV barlow to see if it will contact the mirror. Good luck, Rich I just got a Maxbright PDMAX and 1.25" ADA125 adapter. I have a Televue 2X 1.25" barlow and am wondering if I can use it without hitting the diagonal mirror.

AP MaxBright 1.25" Depth?
Thanks Rich, I did check it as you said. It appeared OK. Nonetheless I
desired some confirmation. Btw, as I looked at it my wife gave me some good advice. She said don't talk while looking at the mirror! This will ensure that no droplets are inadvertantly deposited on the mirror. Best regards, Joe "Rich N." wrote in message ... Hi Joe, My TV 2x 1.25" barlow doesn't hit the mirror of my Maxbright.
