Spacer sleeve with a length of 50 mm for telescopes with connection thread M117x1, e.g. RC telescopes from TS-Optics, Astro Tech, GSO...
♦ Telescope side thread: Internal thread M117x1 (female)
♦ Thread on the side of the focuser: External thread M117x1 (male)
♦ The adapter is screwed between the rear wall of the telescope and the focuser and thus increases the distance between the focuser and the tube.
TS-Optics M117 extension sleeve for thread M117x1 - length 50 mm
Many telescopes, such as the Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes, have a long back focus. This generous focus distance allows the use of a focal reducer or accessories such as off-axis guides. However, if you only want to attach a camera or perhaps want to observe directly, then the focuser must be fully extended and use additional 2" extension sleeves. This reduces stability.
This M117 extension solves the problem. It screws between the focuser and the telescope and increases the distance between the telescope and the focuser (see the image on the left for its use).
The focal plane or focus moves closer to the focuser and you don't have to extend the drawtube as far. You can also screw multiple M117 extension sleeves together for precise tuning. Another advantage is the better lighting. The clearance of the extension sleeve is significantly greater than the clearance of a 2" extension sleeve.
