Omegon 2″/T2 projection adapter
If you want to photograph through a telescope using the eyepiece projection method and your instrument has a 2″ focuser, the Omegon VPA2 is exactly what you are looking for. It is a high-quality variable projection adapter with a modular construction capable of accepting nearly any 1.25″ eyepiece - including those with an unusually large body that would simply not fit into a standard projection adapter. Whether you are working with a 32mm Super Plossl or a wide-angle WA eyepiece, you will not run into any limitations here.
Modular design - one product, multiple functions
The greatest advantage of this adapter is its modularity. The VPA2 is not just a single piece of accessories - each of its parts can function independently and serve its own specific role:
- 2″ to 1.25″ adapter with an integrated T2 thread and compression ring - serves as the foundation of the entire system.
- T2 to 2″ adapter with a compression ring - allows you to connect 2″ accessories to any device with a T2 thread.
- 2″ to T2 adapter - functions as a prime focus adapter, enabling you to attach T2 accessories directly to the 2″ focuser without an eyepiece.
With a single purchase, you effectively get several practically useful components in one package.
Adjustable projection distance and secure eyepiece clamping
The T2 section is telescopically extendable, giving you the ability to fine-tune the projection distance between the eyepiece and the camera sensor. A greater distance corresponds directly to a higher magnification factor - so you have direct control over the resulting magnification without needing to change the eyepiece.
The eyepiece is secured inside the adapter by two locking screws that tighten a compression ring for 1.25″ eyepiece projection photography, which holds the barrel evenly without any risk of scratching or damaging the eyepiece surface. The compression ring is controlled by a thumbscrew as standard; the adapter also features a second thread for an optional additional screw, which is not included.
Who is the Omegon VPA2 suitable for?
The Omegon 2″/T2 adapter is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to get the most out of their telescope in astrophotography. Whether you are an experienced observer with an extensive eyepiece collection or just beginning to experiment with photographing through a telescope using the eyepiece projection method, the modular VPA2 system will provide the flexibility, precision, and reliability you expect from quality accessories.
