If you want to screw parts from Takahashi with an M72x1 thread directly onto your focus lens, you need a suitable adapter. This M72x1 adapter from Starlight Instruments is designed for a 3 inch focus lens and has exactly the same thread size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The end cap is the piece on the back of a focuser that you connect to the ocular, diagonal, or camera. This version fits on a 3 inch focuser. You can find more focusers and parts at our focusers for telescopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A threaded connection keeps the camera straight and prevents tilting, which is important for sharp stars even in the corners when taking astrophotography. First check that your focus ring is really 3 inches and that the parts have an M72x1 thread. For other connections between the focus ring and the camera, see the camera accessories for astrophotography<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a 3.5 inch viewfinder, then there is one end cap with 72\u00d71 mm for 3.5 inch<\/a>. If you are looking for an ordinary replacement, look at the end cap for 3 inch focusers<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" End cap with M72x1 threaded screw for a 3 inch focuser from Starlight Instruments, to connect the Takahashi parts securely and firmly.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":113666,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[3291],"product_cat":[499,56],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-113667","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-starlight-instruments","product_cat-adapters","product_cat-telescoop-accessoires","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":113560,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/eindkap-voor-takahashi-accessoires-op-35-inch-focuser-72x1-mm-feather-touch-van-starlight\/","url_meta":{"origin":113667,"position":0},"title":"End cap for Takahashi accessories on 3.5 inch focuser, 72\u00d71 mm | Feather Touch by Starlight","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Feather Touch end cap with 72x1 mm inner thread, which allows you to attach Takahashi accessories to this thread on a 3.5 inch focus lens.","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20565_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20565_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20565_1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":113592,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/eindkap-voor-3-inch-focuser-extra-of-als-vervanging-feather-touch-van-starlight\/","url_meta":{"origin":113667,"position":1},"title":"End cap for 3 inch focus lens, extra or as a replacement | Feather Touch by Starlight","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Additional or replacement end cap for the output of a 3 inch Feather Touch focus lens, the part that you connect the diagonal or camera to.","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/46425_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/46425_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/46425_1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":113558,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/eindkap-voor-camera-op-35-inch-focuser-92x1-mm-binnendraad-feather-touch-van-starlight\/","url_meta":{"origin":113667,"position":2},"title":"End cap for 3.5 inch focuser camera, 92\u00d71 mm inner thread | Feather Touch by Starlight","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Feather Touch end cap with 92x1 mm inner thread for the 3.5 inch focuser.
