SA404 M48 to M42 Adapter 1.25” Metal Eyepiece Adapter for SV41

Good quality, decent price. Didn't know I needed to have one of these until I needed it.

This works perfectly on the m48 threads on my Pursuit Compact Spotting Scope, and made it a lot more versatile by allowing me to use a lot of different eyepieces. It holds eyepieces solidly and I have no problem getting good focus.

Perfect for setting up a digiscope system using Canon M50 camera and an SVbony SA41 spotting scope.

I ordered this for use with an SVbony SV41 Maksutov spotting scope even though I had a workable M48/M42 adapter after 4easing discussions on an astronomy forum. Compared the adapter I had, the SVbony is a good deal heavier. It’s made of thicker metal throughout, and the threaded sections are longer. I returned the SV41 but kept the adapter. It’ll get plenty of use on my Vanguard 80mm ED spotting scope.

This is a super-useful addition to the optics box. Allows you to replace the cheap zoom eyepiece that comes with most less-expensive spotting scopes with a higher-quality fixed-focus astronomical eyepiece.

Only worked on one version of the SV41 spotting scope, unfortunately not the one I had. Returned the item.

To me, an indispensable tool to scale down from 48mm (2") to 42mm, which is what many astro cameras use.

Awesome
