Omegon 2″ homofocal clamping rings - set of 2

Do you use eyepieces from different manufacturers and constantly need to refocus every time you switch between them? That is exactly the problem these Omegon homofocal clamping rings were designed to solve. Simple, effective and precisely crafted - this is an accessory you will appreciate at every observing session.

Why parfocal rings make a real difference

Every eyepiece has its own focal position - the distance at which it must be inserted into the focuser to produce a sharp image. When you alternate between, say, a 10 mm and a 25 mm eyepiece from different manufacturers, the difference in focal positions can be several millimetres, which means searching for focus again and again. Omegon parfocal rings solve this elegantly: slip a ring onto each eyepiece, set the focal position once, and from that moment all equipped eyepieces are mutually parfocal - switching between them requires no refocusing at all.

The same principle works when combining an eyepiece with an astronomy camera. If you want to switch quickly between visual observing and imaging without lengthy focus hunting, these rings become an indispensable tool. Each ring has a thickness of 5 mm, providing sufficient margin for fine-tuning the position.

Precision clamping without damaging your equipment

Omegon 2″ clamping rings feature two clamping screws positioned at 120° to each other, ensuring even and symmetrical grip on the eyepiece barrel without any risk of scratching its surface or coating. The screws are tightened with the included 1.5 mm hex key - it is supplied in the box, so no rummaging through drawers is needed. Importantly, the rings also protect a precious star diagonal from scratches when inserting eyepieces with a rough or textured barrel surface.
