You know the situation - you've clamped your precious eyepiece using the locking screw on the focuser.
- But instead of sitting precisely in place, it is tilted or even worse - the screw marks and damages the barrel. But this doesn't need to happen, there is a solution: the Twist-Lock adapter. Put your 1.25" eyepieces or other accessories one: Turn the lock-ring and your eyepiece now sits firmly anchored in place. Your eyepiece no longer needs its safety groove as the adapter now clamps it over a large area of around 15mm.
- You can also use the 2 "to 1.25" adapter as a permanent 2" barrel for example. Suppose you are observing with some 2" eyepieces but also have a favourite 1.25" eyepiece you want to use. Instead of constantly having to fiddle around with adapters, you could simply use this adapter together with the eyepiece and use it with a fixed 2" barrel.
- Save money when buying filters - A 2" filter thread offers the option of using a 2" screwed filter, even when using a 1.25" eyepiece.
Advantages in a nutshell
- An affordable way to increase the number of eyepieces to use with your 2" focuser-equipped telescope.
- This is a very high quality anodized aluminum adapter, self-centring 2" to 1.25" adapter with 2" thread.
- Use Twist Lock adapter as a high-end reduction ring. It is gentle with the accessories and yet clamps them in place with incredible force.
- Allows you to use 1.25" eyepieces in any 2" telescopes focuser, star diagonal, or holder.One twist, and your accessories sit firmly in place, gentle clamping over a large area.
- Ideal for using high-power, low focal length 1.25" eyepieces in a big 2" telescope focuser.

Thought this was a great engineering concept & was excited to try it out.However, when item arrived there was a problem that it did not clamp to any of my 1.25" Eyepieces.Read that another Amazon customer experienced the same issue, so I placed a letter concerning the defective Adapter in the box and returned it. However, the vender never responded.Amazon refunded purchase price.UPDATE - The vender showed true concern in reviewing the problem I experienced, and they worked very diligently to resolve the issue. I am very impressed with the replacement item they provided., In short, I am thrilled the adapter, in fact, exceeds my expectations as a useful piece of kit. Customer Service deserves an A++++

The absence of a locking screw makes the eyepiece less cluttered. It really makes a difference, since you are usually working in the dark. The twist lock supports the eyepiece very well. This is really a great set up.
