Quality control seems poor 21 February 2024 | Trevor
I wanted to use this o replace the non compression fitting on my 130PDS, however the threads aren't right, it slides 90% of the way in without catching thread only attaching with less than a full turn, I'm not trusting my filter wheel and camera to that. My skywatcher OE adapter fits perfectly but one or the other has incorrect threading.
Response:
We will double check your returned one but we have tested others from the same batch and they fit and work as intended so this was either a one off or a tolerance issue with your particular scope.

I bought a StellaLyra 30mm Ultra Flat Field 2" Eyepiece to use in my Skywatcher 200p Newtonian. The eyepiece does not fit securely into the 2 inch focuser. This replaces the skywatcher assembly. The band means no marks on the eyepiece which is good and it also feels more secure and centralised. if you have the same scope and eyepiece as myself you may feel happier with an extension tube also, as the eyepiece has to be out as far as possible to focus. I am just a little worried I may be able to knock the eyepiece out.
AE compression ring adapter 29 December 2023 | Ian
Great little adapter especially if you want to keep your eyepieces and equipment unmarked. Screws onto the focuser easily. Delivered speedily by FLO.

Works great on my 130PDS. Threaded on fine and doesn’t leave marks on my accessories.

This ring will fit perfectly and won’t do any damage to your gear. And it will also help with collimating.

Not had chance to use the telescope I got this for yet, but this is well made and much better than the stock one on the 72 ed pro - at least in my head I feel safer with this!

Perfect !!!
A nice improvement for your telescope 26 April 2023 | Francisco
Fully compatible with the Quattro 150P, holds the camera and coma corrector firmly and without any tilt. No need to worry about your equipment falling down. It is a good improvement for the telescope focuser.
Compatible con el Quattro 150P, sujeta la camera y el
Corrector de coma firmemente y sin inclinaciones. No hay que preocuparse por qué tu equipo se caiga. Una buena mejora para el enfocador del telescopio.

A straight, no hassle swap on Skywatcher 150 PD-S and a vast improvement with its sturdy construction and compression ring - together with the Astro Essentials 2 to 1.25 reducer adapter (again with compression ring) makes a nice set. It really is money well spent...

This is a great little upgrade for the 72ED Pro refractor. The original fitting is made of plastic with 2 bolts that are in an annoying position with my setup. However, this compression ring is all metal and fits perfectly. Bolts are slightly bigger and they are not in an awkward position. Highly recommended, as is the usual top class service from FLO. Just great all round!
