It's the Polemaster AP900 adapter.

The universal adapter and some double-sided foam tape works great too. "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" Observatory Engineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa, Hawaii On Mon, Mar 1, 2021 at 3:50 AM Bill Long <bill@...> wrote:

OK. Now that I have been told to order the Polemaster adapter for the AP900. I did just that, except there is no way what I received will work with the Mach2. The Mach2 has a threaded connector and none of the parts I received have any threaded components. So… where do I go from here? David C. Finch

Is this what you have? It’s what I have, and the threaded part definitely screws into the Mach2.

No. This is what I received from OPT when I ordered the adapter for the AP900. Do you have a part number?

Does it look like this? The red part is the AP900 adapter.

That is definitely the wrong adapter.

I have contacted OPT to send me the correct part-will see what happens. David

Return it for the correct adapter. I bought one from telescopes.net and was sent one like you described. It was labeled AP-SM. I returned it and was sent the proper one that was threaded for the AP-900. like the photo that David Johnson shows.

And here it is, ready for action. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the red color kind of ruins the black and white aesthetic of the rest of my system, but I guess I’ll have to get past that.  |

That's not the right adapter. They sent the wrong one.

This got my curious since I ordered from OPT the PoleMaster Adapter for my soon coming 1100GTO(same adapter I believe). It arrived a couple months ago and I never bothered to open it, so I just did and it looks like this (box and all). Looks to be correct.

For the 1100GTO, I have this simple ADM bracket to work perfectly......

Yep that looks like the right one!

So, after reading all this, exactly which adapter works for the Mach2?
