2" Par Focal Rings
 

 

PFR2

   These are made of precision machined aluminum with black anodizing. An M3 Allen wrench is included with each par focal ring. 

Par focal rings are used for several purposes:

    If you would like to make your non-par focal eyepiece set par focal you can put one of these rings on each eyepiece and adjust the height so that all eyepieces are at the same focus point. Now, when you swap eyepieces, you won't need to refocus every time! 

   They are also extremely useful when used with a flip mirror for photography. To use a par focal ring with a flip mirror you would first use the telescopes focuser to put your attached camera in perfect focus, now slide a ring over the eyepiece of your choice and raise and lower the eyepiece in the holder until it is perfectly in focus. Once you find the focus point that is perfectly matched to the camera slip the ring down and lock it in place using the included wrench. Now you can focus using the eyepiece . This is much easier than a dim focus screen. You just flip the mirror and take a picture! Leave the ring in place on the eyepiece and you can always quickly and easily pop it back in for photography
