What telescopes is the PrimaLuceLab 3.3" SC adapter compatible with?
This adapter is specifically designed for Celestron telescopes that use the large 3.3" rear cell thread. This includes the Celestron SCT (11" and 14") and EdgeHD (9.25", 11", and 14") models.
How much backfocus will I have left after installing the ESATTO 2" with this 3.3" SC adapter?
You will have 77mm of available backfocus. The ESATTO 2" focuser itself has a 67mm body depth, and this adapter adds only 2mm of optical thickness, consuming a total of 69mm from your telescope's native backfocus distance.
Can I use this PrimaLuceLab 3.3" adapter with the Celestron 0.7x focal reducer on my EdgeHD 1100?
Yes. This adapter is designed to work perfectly with the Celestron EdgeHD 0.7x focal reducers for the 9.25", 11", and 14" models. The 77mm of remaining backfocus is sufficient to accommodate the reducer's required spacing along with your other imaging accessories.
Why do I need this specific adapter for my Celestron 14" SCT?
The Celestron 14" SCT uses a large 3.3" thread on its rear cell, which is different from the standard 2" SC thread found on smaller models. This PrimaLuceLab adapter provides the correct threading for a direct, secure attachment of the ESATTO 2" focuser, ensuring a stable and perfectly aligned connection.
Does this adapter add any flexure to my imaging train?
No. As a single, machined piece that threads directly onto the telescope and the focuser, this adapter is designed to be a rigid component of your optical train. It eliminates a common source of flexure that can occur when stacking multiple smaller adapters to achieve the same connection.
I have a Celestron 8" EdgeHD, is this the right adapter for my ESATTO 2"?
No, this adapter is not correct for an 8" SCT or EdgeHD. Those telescopes use a smaller, standard 2" SC thread. You will need the PrimaLuceLab "Adapter ESATTO 2" for telescopes with SC thread" (PL3600210) for that model.
