    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    I'd second that question, which part numbers are required? Plus can anyone tell if this will this fit Baader non zooms as well?

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    Hi Binastro, Thank you for the extra insight. Microscope eyepieces I would not have thought of as an option. Although intriguing, the idea is a bridge too far for my circumstances. I'm resigned to the reality that, short of extraordinary effort, Fieldscopes and longer eye relief zooms don't...

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    Thank you very much. On measuring, the barrel opening diameter for the ED50 is about 0.9", too little for any other brand of eyepieces. That clears it up for me. I'm still considering the Baader for my recently acquired Pentax PR65, but sadly it won't be able to enhance the Nikons.

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    Hi mayomayo, Based on your experience, do you think an adapter could be jury rigged just by wrapping sufficient layers of tape around the Baader barrel? The thought would be that it could screw into the Fieldscope with the female threads on the scope forcing their way into the tape.

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    If the Nikon thread is Nikon specific, how easily would an astronomy eyepiece fit and would it come to focus? I'm reluctant to invest without a solid indication that the pieces are compatible.

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    Thank you for this clear explanation. Guess the Nikon design is not readily compatible with other offerings. :C How did you manage to use astro eye pieces despite that and how well does it work?

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    What does it take to adapt the Baader zoom to the Fieldscope series? Is there an adapter available for purchase? I use both the ED50 as well as the EDIII and agree that that the Nikon zooms are niggardly in terms of eye relief. So if there is better available, it would be very much of interest.

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    That is just awful! The Kowa is by all accounts the top tier scope and priced accordingly. To hear that a third of the units tested were lemons is disgusting. Does no one in the optics business have any concern for long term reputation with customers?
