Brilliant adapter but had to mod for my skymax 90 31 August 2023 | Lee
I bought this adapter to fit to my skymax 90mm so I could use a 2" mak to sct visual back with the brass compression ring to stop marking the accessories and mostly so the accessories stay central when swapping out. To fit my SM90 I had to use a bench grinder to take around 2mm from all around the edge, so the adapter coukd pass the focuser. Now I can fit the mak to sct visual back.

Does what it's required to do but it is way overpriced

I bought for my C90 (current version), the threads are well made but the diameter of the grip section is too big for the C90. I filed a small area of this grip section to create a space for the focuser and then it works great.

Works perfectly! No thread issues and seems well made.
Mak to SCT threaded adapter. 16 March 2022 | Gerard
Great adapter and works well and can allow the mak user to use SCT accessories. Sooth, easy and great fitting. Yes its a good item.

Well made with clear and clean threads throughout. Screwed onto the back of my Maksutov without issue and I then fitted a 2” visual back. Perfect

This adapter was easily spun onto the thread of my Skywatcher 127, making it possible to use standard SCT accessories.

Installed on a mak 127. Simply remove mak visual back to reveal thread and screw on adapter. Only 3 stars because it is overpriced. A big thank you to garnett Leary who's YouTube video inspired me to do this mod https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqb3E_0p4FM_ddJhplah6b9WtlQApaOui
Sct adapter stiff does not screw in 24 September 2020 | Giulio
Only screws in one turn and stops, does not seem to have the right threading for mak 127 skywatcher
Response:
The adapter thread hasn't changed but occasionally there is some variation with the telescope thread.
Please check there isn't paint or debris in the adapter or telescope thread (a toothbrush is good for this). If that doesn't help then please contact us to arrange refund or replacement.
