Alexander ★★★★★

Finally, a clean way to attach my Gemini focuser without any wobble. The dovetail locks in securely, and it feels machined to exact tolerances. Wasn't cheap, but it solved my alignment issues instantly.

James ★★★★★

The threads on my 16" OTC are a perfect match, and this adapter mates the back cell to my focuser without any slop or wobble. It makes switching between imaging setups a lot quicker since the dovetail locks in place firmly.

Joshua ★★★★★

Took a chance on this adapter to mount a focuser on my 16-inch scope, and the threads mate perfectly with no wobble. The anodized finish looks like it'll hold up well in the field.
