2 inch focus adapter for Takahashi Mewlon | Starlight

With the high magnifications you use on planets and the moon, focusing very closely is essential. With this Mewlon focus adapter, you can mount a 2-inch focus from Starlight Instruments on your Takahashi. This allows you to keep the sharp point quieter and more accurate, even with a camera.

The Mewlon is a Dall-Kirkham cassagrain that is widely used for planets and the moon. Check that the connection of your Mewlon matches this adapter, for example by measuring the current connection. There is also a separate adapter for the Mewlon 300, So, if in doubt, compare the two.

Pay attention to the total light path when you have a diagonal, a filter wheel or set the camera behind the focus ring so that you stay within the focus range. What you can see with such a setup on planets, you can read in our article about Jupiter.
