Does the PVC2000 Visual Paracorr come with a 2.00/1.25" adapter? I seem to have a spare adapter in my eyepiece case and wondering if that's what it goes to. I've been using the adapter that comes with my scope and cannot remember if the Paracorr came with one. It's important if I change scopes and need to sell the Paracorr. Thanks.

IF this is the 2" paracorr that predates the current one, ie the older model that is useful to about F4.5 or so (as opposed to the current one that corrects coma to down to around F3) then yes it comes with a 1.25" adapter but I haven't seen it referred to as the PVC2000.

The correct part # is PCV2000 not PVC2000

It is the visual type I paracorr which is no longer sold if I am not mistaken

Pretty sure it did come with a 1.25 adapter.....

Thanks, Greg, including catching my typo on the model number.
