I have a Bushnell Spacemaster II ED with 27x WA eyepiece and I'm looking to add a zoom eyepiece to it. I'm looking at an Opticron 40933 HR2 ZOOM or 40862 HDF eyepiece but I don't know if these eyepieces are compatible with my scope. There isn't a local Opticron dealer where I can try them.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,
Andrew

I was watching this thread hoping to hear something. Unfortunately it sounds like a pretty unusual request but would you share what you found for future readers?

Sorry this is so late Matt but I've been trying all sorts of alternatives. The problem is optical rather than mechanical - Hr2, SDL & HDF fit mechanically with an adapter but not optically. As far as I can ascertain the Opticron LER 15-45x zoom is the only current eyepiece to fit properly and it is not of sufficiently high quality by current standards. Hope this helps.

Cool. I was hoping there was an untapped resource for these but so be it.
