Just getting started - bought a Tak FS-78 with a 1.25" adapter. Would like to buy only 2" eyepieces, so I know I need some kind of 2" adapter. What exactly do I need to buy - (part numbers would be great). Please be specific - I'm not 100% sure what a "visual back" is so I don't know if that's all I need or not. The Tak web site is not very helpful. Thanks...

"The Tak web site is not very helpful"

"LOL"

Sad but not true in your case.


Look at #69 on the FS78 system chart. There are two types. An older one with set screws and a newer one that is uses a compression ring which shouldn't leave marks on your eyepieces or diagonal. Get the newer one

They are quite popular and a post on Amart should get some quick results.

Good luck

And

Enjoy your scope smile
