Enables you to fit a guide camera with T thread directly to a Sky-Watcher 9x50 finder-scope.
Will also fit other similar finder-scopes from Orion / Celestron with a fine M51 x 0.75 thread.
High quality, CNC machined, anodised aluminium.
This new version has notches to help you grip and thread it in - this reduces the optical length to 0mm but you may need to use pliers or other tools to help thread this on.

Enabled me to use a 1.25" eyepiece on my finder (with a barlow and other adapters), converting it to a 20x finder. Happy customer!
Finderscope to guidescope Wednesday, 2 December 2020 | Stephen
This adapter replaces the eyepiece assembly and converts the excellent Skywatcher finder into an effective guidescope by fitting a planetary camera (I use the ZWO ASI 120MC and it works very well)

Perfect fit and does the job perfectly. Fits my ASI 120 MC-s guide camera nicely.

First I could not get to focus but I did little research and what you need to do is to remove the tightening ring on the Sky-Watcher 9x50 Finder
Didn't work for Celestron 9x50 finder scope Tuesday, 14 July 2020 | Kip
Great quality product but it did not work with my Celestron 9x50 finder scope. Tube needed to be a bit shorter in order to come in to focus.

Fits and works as described - no problems

i purchased this adapter to connect a new SkyWatcher 9 x 50 finder to use as a guide scope with an ASI120MM-S camera. The part had a sharp sliver of painted metal which fell off when inspected and the adapter also had a shoulder (no on the FLO image) which prevented the adapter being secured close to the camera side. It works however.
Response:
We don't often have quality issues on parts like this so we would have replaced this had you reported the sharp thread to us.
The shoulder though is intentional, it's on many of our adapters and can stop the Aluminium parts becoming jammed together which makes removal much easier.
Works with the Celestron finder scope Tuesday, 11 February 2020 | Nigel

Very useful adapter, has a great grip too.
Fitting to a TS 8x50 finder Friday, 5 April 2019 | Francis
Very nicely made adapter can't fault the build. For me though wanting to put my ASI 120MM on to a TS 8x50 finder I couldn't get focus as the adapter came. I had to machine off the knurled section down to the thread depth so it would go further into the finder's tube. That solved it. The camera now focuses. This is probably because I had a spare TS 8x50 finder rather than a skywatcher 9x50. I think the finder tube on the TS must be a few mm's longer.
4 stars because it didn't quite work out of the box for me - had it focused at infinity it would have had 5.
Response:
As you've found, these are designed specifically for the length and threads found on the Sky-Watcher 9x50 finder. They may work on others but these are the ones it's designed for and will 100% work with.
