A custom eyepiece adapter made from 2" PVC tubing. A lathe tool was ground to cut the lug that fits into the bayonet on the outside of the D-7 lens. Siebert Optics supplied the optics (40mm 2" Observatory Eyepiece). A holder for the smaller element and spacers/retainers were turned from PVC. Everything fits inside the 2" tubing and is held with set screws tapped into the body. Everything is adjustable and dismountable for cleaning. See "through the Microscope" gallery for examples of photos with this eyepiece.
