    Description

    This 2" x ½" Barrel Extension is a more robust version of T-thread extension tubes. It uses 48 mm threads at both ends (female and male) instead of the smaller 42 mm T-threads. Its internal light baffles are painted flat-black to avoid reflections. Use more than one to increase spacing distance and/or telecompression in 1/2" (12.7 mm) increments. This extension has a net spacing distance of 0.5" (12.7 mm).

    • Spacer for the 0.67 CCD Telecompressor (CCDT67) to achieve precise and/or additional telecompression
    • Moves the CCDT67 further into the optical path, requiring less focuser in-travel
    • Use with our 1.25" Adapter (ADA125) when using 2" filters and needing more space for long barrel eyepieces, so as to not strike the filter
    • Extends the eyepiece barrel length of 1.25"/2" eyepieces for use with 2" filters
    • Use with the Convertible Photo-Visual Barlow (BARCON) in front of the MaxBright Diagonal (PMDMAX) for increased magnification
    • Facilitates focus with short focuser-travel systems like Newtonians
    • Use with parfocal rings (obtained elsewhere) to accommodate eyepiece parfocality
