Optec, Inc.
#17807 - 3-inch to AstroPhysics 2.7-inch mount. This mounting adapter offers
the popular female side of the AP thread to attach accessories.
#17804 - 3-inch to 2-inch reducer bushing. This adapter allows all of the 2-inch
size camera mounts and other 2-inch adapters to fit the Pyxis 3-inch.
#17805 - 3-inch to Optec 2.4" mount. In order to accommodate the IFW filter
wheel system or TCF-S, this short adapter will rigidly attach the IFW/TCF-S
to the 3-inch port of the Pyxis 3-inch.
#17806 - 3-inch to STL camera mount. The STL line of cameras from SBIG support
some of the largest CCD chips available. The usual T-thread mount adapter does
not have enough clear aperture to accommodate these chips without vignetting.
This adapter uses the 4-bolt holes in the front plate of the STL to secure the
mount giving a full 2 inches I.D. close to the CCD.
