      5.0 Those misc pieces

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Some folks might have their own machine shops, but if you don't, then let Agena be yours! Finding those little misc parts to get hardware to connect, focus, etc is easier with Agena.
      Purchased the spacer ring to get eyepiece to focus at same distance as camera, ie minimize focusing changes between observing and imaging. The Blue Fireball hardware is excellent quality.

      5.0 GREAT CAMERA TO COMA CORRECTOR ADAPTER RING

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I PURCHASED AGENA'S 2" OUTSTANDING COMA CORRECTOR PRIMARILY FOR VISUAL VIEWING. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK INTO ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY BUT ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS AND ACTUAL FITTING OF THIS RING TO THE COMA CORRECTOR, WITH A 'T' RING IT SHOULD BE A PERFECT FIT FOR YOUR CAMERA TO THE CC. BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO USE THE RING I CAN ONLY SAY THAT IT GETS 5 STARS BASED ON THE EXCELLENCE OF THE GSO COMA CORRECTOR THAT IT CAME WITH!

      5.0 Spacer Ring

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Nice spacer. Clean Threads. Nice and black. Used to place the two coma corrector at the right spot in the focuser on a Z10. From what my eyes can tell, seem like this is just the right length for 1.5" eyepieces ( the 2-1.5" adapter adds 10mm) and for 2" you need to use a parafoculizing ring or another roughly 10mm spacer.

      High quality and works perfect.

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      The title sums it up. I have purchased several of the Blue Fireball products from Agena, and they are always of uniformly good quality. And Agena's service is always second to none. Fast shipping. Never disappointed.

      5.0 Just buy it

      Pros:

      Lightweight,Easy to Use,Strong Construction,Accurate

      Cons:

      Comments:

      You got this far because you need a spacer this long. It threads easily and securely.

      Like most threaded adapters, a little bit of wax burnished into the threads will minimize galling.

      5.0 2" Spacer

      Pros:

      Strong Construction,Accurate,Lightweight,Compact,Easy to Use

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I screw this adapter into my 2" to 1-1/4" eyepiece adapter to get more distance from the 2" filter that screws into the spacer ring when inserting eyepieces. In my case some of my eyepieces were coming close or even touching the filter glass without the spacer ring. This adapter takes care of that problem.

      4.0 3rd FTR

      Pros:

      Strong Construction

      Cons:

      Comments:

      We always see 14mm, 28mm FTR Rings and Baader Filter to change focal lenght at Hyperion Eyepieces. The height is the same as Baader Filter and can be used like one. It don't creates glow inside eyepiece and are strong enough like a original FTR.
