Hi, looking for these 15X eyepieces to add the versatility to my AO10. And looking for a phototube adaptor for my trinoc head. Not seeing much on eBay and other sources.
The journey continues
thanks!!

Update - was able to find 184s, but still needing phototube. I know there is a tube of sorts (not OEM) https://www.ebay.com/itm/152323422958
And I think there was a discussion how this needed flocking on the eyepiece end to reduce light reflection since there is no "shoulder"
Also, maybe this exists in thingiverse? or is it just the adapter to the camera at the eyepiece end of things?

Oddly, those are listed as used. That might suggest that they are some that were returned. The flocking is required at the bottom ; 1/2" up will do it. Another option and perhaps a better one is to find or make a thin aluminum washer with just a little smaller i.d. and solder it on the bottom. That would create the required lip or diaphragm. You would then need to give the lip a little flat black paint. Probably even a couple of coats of marker would do.
I think I posted the dimensions of the factory tube in the past but I can do it again if you want them.

I have a pair of 182 15x eyepiecesin New condition. Can't remember which product line they originated in, but keep in mind the eyepieces for the Series 10 were uncompensated and the usual max FD was 18mm. These would probably work with out any problem. If interested make a reasonable offer.

Just found the second 184 15x so I now have a pair. Very good Condition. Make and offer if you still need or want them
