Advice on what this is please ?

Post by skyhawk »

1.25"
Looks like the end of a barlow but longer than another I have
I did buy a "magnimax" years ago ??

Nothing written on it.

Also where in the chain do you place a focal reducer when you have scope, diagonal, quark, eyepiece

Thank you

Just for info, if I ever come over as "blunt" or upset it is not intentional, I am AUTISTIC, I have Aspergers, and ADHD, Autism, so my apologies if I ever sound, unintentionally confrontational. Thank you

Looks like a magnimax to me. Focal reducer goes between Quark and camera.

Is THAT what a FR is, MANY thanks, can it be used between quark and eyepiece or just for cameras

The reason I ask is because for some reason I can't get focus, the focusser won't come "out" far enough

A magnimax is a nosepiece barlow that gives about 1.4x amplification.
