I'm sure you know this already, but as a temporary measure, you can use a film canister as an adapter.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi, yes...it works ok for eyepieces but i am using it for the vixen GA-2 0.965" type guidescope which needed accurate centering.
Yes it is a good advice

I'm not sure about Vixen GA-2, but Vixen GA-4 0.965" can't use 1.25" eyepiece... I try with various 1.25" eyepiece, it just can't reach focus.
Have a nice day.

Oh... So it should be a 1.25" to 0.965" eyepiece adapter.
Have a nice day.
