This adapter slides into the Hedrick Focuser. The adapter steps the 3″ opening down to 2″ for standard 2″ accessories. The adapter also adds some additional spacing to optimize the use of a 2″ diagonal so focus is reached with most eyepieces.
The back plate on all of the CDK models has four mounting positions for a finder mounting plate.
The finder mounting plate attaches to the back plate of the telescope and the quick-release finder bracket attaches to the mounting plate.
If the telescope is used on a German Equatorial mount it may be convenient to purchase two finder scopes, one for the east and one for the west side of the telescope.
The finder scope is a Baader 10×60 Varios with mounting rings and L- bracket.
