TeleVue Equalizer 2" to 1.25" Adapter

TeleVue Equalizer 2″-1,25″: Transition adapter: a heavier adapter that keeps the balance equal

The Equalizer eliminates a mounting problem; it is not an optical problem. The brass adapter weighs about the same as the difference in weight between a 2-inch and a 1.25-inch eyepiece, so the balance of the telescope remains the same when switching between them.

On a friction mount or a Dobson, this means changing eyepieces without having to tilt the tube or adjust the clamps.

Four adapters, four heights

TeleVue consciously makes multiple 2 to 1.25 inch adapters, each with a different build height. The height determines where the focal plane of a 1.25 inch eyepiece will end up, and therefore whether it remains parfocal with your 2 inch eyepieces or with a Paracorr setup.

Choose the adapter for your situation: the HiHat for parfocality with 2-inch TeleVue eyepieces, the In-Travel for Paracorr setups, the Flat-top for minimal build height, and the Equalizer when it comes to balance.
