Is it possible to put a 2" back on a C8? Has anyone done this?

Same questions for a C11. Thanks.

Paul, that was the 1st thing I did when I got my Celestar C8. I removed the 1.25" dia. then threaded the 2" visual back right into the rear cell, then slipped my TV. 2" Everbrite diagonal into the Visual back. My 2" to 1.25" adapter goes into the Everbrite for when I want to use 1 1/4" EPs .. "that's it".. John Meiners (Photo shows dust seal just ahead of the visual back.) * I have since done away with it

Yes,

I have a Tele-Vue SCT to 2" adapter (TV part#ACC-0003)
attached to my C8. It simply threads on and has a brass
compression ring to hold your diagonal.

I'll post an image later today!
