  • Starlight Instruments 2.0" Adapter for MK67/MK69 Telescope

    The Starlight Instruments 2.0" Adapter for MK67/MK69 Telescope provides the critical mechanical link required to upgrade your Intes-Micro Maksutov-Cassegrain with a high-precision Feather Touch focuser. This component is engineered to create a solid, perfectly aligned connection between the rear cell of the MK67 or MK69 and any 2.0" Feather Touch focuser body.

    A Secure 2.0" Connection for MK67 & MK69 Telescopes

    This adapter is not a generic part; it is machined by Starlight Instruments specifically for the thread specifications of the Intes-Micro Alter MK67 and MK69 telescopes. This ensures a direct, secure fit that prevents the tilt and flexure that can degrade images, especially with heavier cameras or eyepiece setups. Upgrading your telescope's stock focuser to a 2.0" Feather Touch is impossible without this purpose-built component.

    • Precision Machining: Guarantees perfect alignment between the telescope's optical axis and the focuser drawtube, preserving the high-quality images your Maksutov-Cassegrain is known for.
    • Durable Construction: Machined from high-grade aluminum and finished with a black anodization, the adapter resists wear and minimizes internal reflections for improved contrast.
    • Enables Focuser Upgrade: Serves as the essential foundation for adding a Starlight Instruments 2.0" Crayford or rack-and-pinion focuser, transforming your scope's focusing from a source of image shift to a point of precision.

  • What is the purpose of the Starlight Instruments 2.0" Adapter for MK67/MK69?

    This adapter is designed to connect a 2.0" Starlight Instruments Feather Touch focuser to the rear cell of an Intes-Micro Alter MK67 or MK69 telescope. It allows you to replace the telescope's original focuser with a high-precision, dual-speed model for superior visual and imaging performance.

    Will this Starlight Instruments adapter fit any other telescope models?

    No. This adapter is specifically threaded and dimensioned for the Intes-Micro Alter MK67 and MK69 Maksutov-Cassegrains. Attempting to use it on other telescopes, even from the same manufacturer, will likely result in a poor fit or thread damage. Always use the specific adapter recommended by Starlight Instruments for your telescope.

    How do I install the MK67/MK69 adapter?

    Installation involves unthreading the stock focuser or visual back from your telescope's rear cell. The Starlight Instruments MK67/MK69 adapter is then threaded securely onto the exposed threads of the telescope. Once the adapter is in place, the 2.0" Feather Touch focuser can be attached to it.

    Is this adapter strong enough for astrophotography with my MK69 telescope?

    Yes. Like all Starlight Instruments components, this adapter is machined from solid aluminum to create a rigid, flex-free connection. When properly installed, it provides a solid base for a Feather Touch focuser, capable of supporting a full imaging train with a camera, filter wheel, and off-axis guider for long exposures of targets like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31).

    I want to image the Orion Nebula (M42) with my MK67 and a 2" Feather Touch focuser. Is this the right part?

    Yes, this is the exact component you need. To mount a 2.0" Feather Touch focuser onto your MK67 for imaging deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula (M42), this adapter is the mandatory first step to ensure a secure and properly aligned connection.

    What is the Starlight Instruments MK67/MK69 adapter made from?

    This adapter is precision-machined from high-grade aluminum and features a black anodized finish. This construction ensures excellent strength and durability while providing a non-reflective internal surface to maximize image contrast.
