Connecting system for all classic SCT and GPS models with minimal modification, as well as miscellaneous telescopes The primary advantage of using the connectors is to greatly enhance the connection time with all telescope accessories and to prevent cross-threading and expensive damage to the telescope’s rear cell and/or accessories. The connection time it takes is fractional to the conventional thread method. Also the Quick-Connectors do not lock up when temperature changes like threaded connections do. All Quick-Connectors are made with high-grade anodized aluminum and use a 34ib.compression four-point stainless steel wavespring.
There are two main components used, (1) A Unit (attaches to the telescope), (1) B Unit and additional B Units for each additional accessory. All B Units may be installed as needed on to the A Unit.(See Fig.1).
The conventional method consists of screwing the fine threaded ring of all accessories available for the telescopes on to the 2" threaded back of the telescope. This can be a little difficult in the dark and to those who are not familiar with the task.
The conventional method takes on average 10 to 12 seconds to install and 7 to 8 seconds to remove. The Quick-Connect takes about 2 seconds to install and less than 1 second to remove. This is a plus for astrophotography. Set comes with (1) A unit with dust cap and (2) B units
