5.0 Key to making a stock Celestron 9x50 straight finder scope #51611 into

I forget the forum link that sent to to buy this adapter, but in fact it (along with a mating component of a ZWO OAG - the 1.25” cup that accepts yet another component - a ZWO ASI-174mm mini guide camera) is the key to making a stock 9x50 straight finder scope #51611 into a guide camera scope. First remove not just the eyepiece but the visual back that is the same diameter as the scope tube. Screw this adapter into the scope tube, then screw the OAG cup to it, then insert the guide camera and adjust the inserted length to focus. BTW, this setup will NOT permit optical viewing inserting a 1.25” eyepiece because the scope tube is too long by just a fraction of an inch to be able to reach focus. (I had thought it would be cool to make the 9X scope into a 40x scope with a strong eyepiece.) However, the above ZWO camera has an extension tube allows it to be brought to focus at an effective magnification of about 13X compared to the stock optical 9X.

I will be using this to guide a Celestron EdgeHD 925 with HyperStar on the font end, as the HyperStar assembly will not permit use of an OAG, so if you want a guide camera for this setup you have to use a scope. However, I do use the OAG for prime position (back-end) imaging, so I had the ZWO OAG already for that, and doing double duty for the front-end HyperStar saved me the cost of a new dedicated guide scope. I don’t know that I would go out and buy a ZWO OAG just to be able to pirate the 1.25” cup component, as a dedicated guide scope could be cheaper than the OAG depending on what scope you were looking at.

4.0 The product is as represented.

The product is as represented. It would be nice if the diameter beyond the t adapter threads is the diameter of a 2 inch lens as this was used to fit a very close coupled condition.

5.0 Blue Fireball T / T2 Male Thread to SCT Male & M48 (2" Filter

This was used to mate a QHY5/Starshoot guide camera to a 8x50 Orion/Synta finder scope. It worked perfectly to adapt the camera to the rear of the finder tube once the stock eyepiece assembly was removed. I was very pleased to have an inexpensive alternative to a guide scope on hand from loose parts and with the use of this neat adapter, I did not have to spend a small fortune to buy a guidescope off the shelf. Nice item...thanks Agena !

3.0 Works but WAYYYY Over Priced!

I needed this adapter to work with my 50mm finder scope and the ASI120 camera for guiding.
Although this adapter works, like many astronomy products, it is WAY overpriced. Probably not Agenas doing but the mfg.
It's a specialty item and they know we need it so...
The pricing is the reason for the 3 stars.

5.0 The twistlock problem solver

Strong Construction,Compact,Lightweight

After lots of fruitless internet searches I eventually found this gem of a site that had the adaptor I need to fit my Antares twistlock adaptor to my Brightstar Filterwheel so that I could have a nice secure clamping of my ccd cam to the filter wheel. This little beauty fitted perfectly and is fine piece of engineering and a well made adaptor. Highly receommended if your looking to improve your ccd camera to filter wheel mounting

4.0 Just the right part

Easy to Use

As noted, it does provide a perfect way to mount a guide camera to a Celestron 9x50 finder. Not sure if it will work with others. Great service from Agena as always.

5.0 Guiding with a Finder Scope

I had been experimenting with auto-guiding using a Celestron 9x50 finderscope and an Orion Starshoot autoguider, but reaching focus was difficult with the adapters that I had tried. This Blue Fireball model worked "straight out of the box" and was the correct length to provide infinity focus with the Celestron/Orion combo.
Very happy with the purchase.
