Model: baader-2408151Part Number: 2408151
Baader low profile (adds only 1mm) 2-1.25 inch adapter for SteelTrack focusers.
Purchased to fit onto my 1.25 diagonal as both by scopes have Baader steel track focusers. Really solid bit of kit and has the advantage of securing with a grub screw. Now here is the reason for 4 stars, the quality of the grub is rubbish, when tightening with little torque it rounded out and took ages to remove.
This is a perfect fit for the Morpheus eyepieces if you also happen to be using a Hyperion Aspheric 2" eyepiece as it makes the two eyepieces become parfocal. The Morpheus series unfortunately does not have any eyepieces longer than 17,5mm, so if you want a wide field eyepiece from Baader the Hyperion Aspheric 31mm or 36mm are the closest match. The Morpheus body is a two step fit with both 1,25" and 2" adapters, but the 2" sinks the eyepiece deep into the focuser, so you have to refocus quite a bit when changing from the Aspheric. Mount the Pushfix Adapter, as this adapter is really called in the Baader catalogue, permanently on the Morpheus and the two eyepieces becomes almost perfectly parfocal requiring only a minor adjustment on the focuser.
I love these adapters as you can fix them permanently to your 1.25" eyepiece barrel via a supplied grub screw. They also come with a 2" end cap so you dont need to worry about finding an end cap to put on when not in use. In the winter, when wearing gloves, I don't want to be messing with adapters and taking them on and off (risking dropping something), and these are the perfect solution! (Also note that the pictured thumb screw can be removed if using the grub screw as it is redundant). Highly recommended.
