Televue Equalizer Questions

Hello, I have a JMI DX3 focuser with their standard 2" to 1.25" adapter. I was thinking of getting the Televue Equalizer to help with balancing the scope with the lighter eyepieces. Two questions:

1) Will this change the focus position much (it looks like the Equalizer has a higher hat), because right now the focus point is dead on with the JMI adapter for all the eyepieces I have? It looks as if I might have to cut the trusses another 1/2" or so, if I buy the Equalizer?

2) Is the Equalizer threaded for 2" filters?

Thanks,

Brien Stratton

Yes, the Equalizer is about 1/2 inch taller than
most 1.25" adapters. It will affect your focus position.

No, at least mine are not threaded for filters.

If I were you, I'd find a different solution. Maybe
some velcro and a small bean bag applied somewhere?
