Description
First the Low profile camera adapter will free about 4-5mm of focus for your PST. telescope(see pictures). Most ZWO, QHC and similar cameras need this much to easily focus. This nose may have other applications but the PST is a specifically hard to focus scope with cameras. The picture of the sun was taken with this adapter and a ZWO ASI120 color camera. The adapter will allow the camera to sit much closer to the PST eyepiece holder and make it easy to focus with space to spare. There is more info in the pictures.THIS auction also includes a 2x or 3x focus adapter. (See last 4 pictures.) If you need less magnification 2x are good. Just message me and I will send a 2x instead of the 3x.
As you see in the pictures the PST with a good camera can increase the magnification to really zoom in on Proms(as seen in pictures 6 and 7.) These two pictures are the same time frame but with and without the 3x adapter. You could not get away with this with a single eyepiece but it is not a problem with a camera since you can change the exposure and get good results. The last picture is taken on a different day.
The 3x adapter is focus adjustable and can be made to match the focus of the camera so there is no need to refocus after switching. It also has it own T2 threads and you can screw the camera directly on the 3x adapter or just use the 1.25" nose and plug in like a regular Barlow.
Let me know if you have questions. - Harry
