M63 adapter

Post by RegP87 »

I have a few Falcon units I would like to attach to my GT81 and ED127. Due to the short back focus of the focal reducers I need to place the falcon between the focuser and focal reducer. In order to do this I would need an m64 to m54 adapter on both sides of the Falcon. I havent been able to find such an adapter, does it even exist?

which reducer do you have, if its one of the William optics ones that has some adjustment, i found the if you remove the camera side 48mm threaded part the thread underneth is 54mm, it is on my ZS73 Flatener. You can gain at least 10mm back focus by screwing that into the rotator and using the lock ring on the flatener against the falcon to secure it in place. Seems to work ok
