It looks like a great solution, but I am too linguistically challenged to translate :oops:

Looks like a couple of commercial parts which have a M50 x 1 connecting thread...very interesting option...
I know the 2" Orion Prime focus adaptor comes apart to reveal a male and female SCT thread (2" x 24tpi) which can be made to work (need a wrap of plumbers tape)

Hi Peter

what I understand is that he takes the upper part of a 2" ED Barlow and the diagonal of a skywatcher refractor. Watch out, not every 2" diagonal is deep enough to have enough space for mounting the etalon
