Adapters between Pyxis 3" and SBIG OAG-8300

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a SBIG STF-8300M camera with SBIG FW5 filter wheel and OAG-8300. I need to know which adapters are needed to fit OAG-8300 to my Pyxis 3" rotator.
I think I'll need this: https://www.sbig.com/products/accessories/stl-cover-for-oag-8300/
and then #17843 3-inch to STL 2.156”x 24tpi male thread adapter from Optec's catalog.
Am I right?
In that case, what is the back-focus usage of this 2.156" x 24 thread adapter plate?

thanks,
Marko

 

If you have the OAG cover with the 2.156 female threads it should work.

17843 3-inch to STL 2.156”x 24tpi male thread adapter.

I would still Call Optec to confirm on the Pyxis side of things.

Hi Tim,

So there are optional OAG covers? Where can I find information regarding these?

EDIT: Oops, I see: the adapter plate is the "cover", right?

 

Hi again,

Jeff at Optec suggested this: http://www.optecinc.com/astronomy/catalog/17806.htm
So my question is: could this 17806 be bolted directly on the OAG-8300 without any other optional adapters?

 

Ok, thank you Doug.

Marko

 

One more question: do you have the STL-threaded adapter https://www.sbig.com/products/accessories/stl-cover-for-oag-8300/ in stock?
