ZWO 1.25" Adapter binds on filters ?

#1

Post by skysnapper »


I'm using the 1.25" T-mount adapter that came with my ASI 183MC Pro camera to connect it to my Skymax 127 OTA (which has the 1.25" aperture).
I noticed though that the T-mount adapter itself screws into the camera filter or extension tubes and keeps going in until it hits an obstruction - in my case a 2" UV/IR filter.
If the T-mount had a wider flange on the 1.25" side it would stop it disappearing into the filter.
Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks
