Opticron Eyepieces (1 Viewer)

[wileskm49]

I am trying to find info on the interchangeability of Opticron scopes and eyepieces. Is there any published info available which covers both current and discontinued models and are adaptors needed for any of them?
Since joining BF a few months ago I can see that many contributors are heavily into their optics and I would be very grateful of any help offered in these - to me - dark arts.
Cast a little light on this benighted soul.

Admittedly I have only met sales people and demonstrators but I’ve found Opticron staff easy to approach.
It might be worth asking them ?

Opticron may list their eyepieces on their website.

Some had I think metric threads, some Imperial.

Opticron has adapters.

What body is being used?

Some eyepieces may use outer threads, some inner.

Hi Binastro. I'm going to be using an Imagic 80 body initially with a hope to upgrade as funds allow which is why I need to know interchangeability.
Thanks for the help.
Kind regards, Ken.

Hi Mike.
Thanks for that, I'll get in touch.

Hi Ken,

here is the web page for your Imagic 80 body which lists a few EP options.

Opticron - Imagic Fieldscopes

Since it lists EPs both with a male thread and with a female union nut, I'd say your body has both a male M41.5x1 thread and a female thread which I don't know...

Many thanks Joachim, just what I was hoping for. You're a star.

Kind regards, Ken.

The current SDLv3 eyepiece is also compatible.

Thanks Pete. Sorry for the delay in replying; the family have all had/got the lurgi and I'm the last man standing.
Cheers, Ken.
