star diagonal was created by richie9hr
just aquired my first scope second hand on cn web site, the scope is an antares 80mm f6 480mm refractor, heres my problem the scope has a two inch fouser but the accesiories that came with it are all inch and a quarter, these include two eyepieces, barlow lens, star diagonal 45 degree erecting prism, so what do i need to mate all these to-gether, and should i consider getting two inch eye piece etc, etc

Hi,
I wouldnt get 2" eyepieces for an 80mm scope, you can get a 2" to 1.25" adapters no problem,
something like this

I'm sure someone has a spare adapter lying around. It is a wonder that it was not included in the sale of your scope. Personally, I think you were fiddled. On the plus side, you've got a pretty nifty refractor.
