On the camera end of it is what my documents say is a "Starlight Instruments AP End Cap" that accepts an AP A1008 2" threaded extension tube. I didn't find a dovetail adapter on the AP website that looks like it threads onto an FT 3.5" focuser. But if the adapter you're referring to does so, it sounds like I could use a GT/GTX flattener without much cobbling. Can you give me the part number for the dovetail adapter? What size/type threads are on the camera side of the flattener? Thanks again. --- Mike -- Roland Christen Astro-Physics
