Hello!
I am looking for the above mentioned. I understand that this isn't exactly the most common eyepiece/focuser size, so I would also like to know if there is anyway to fit a 1.25" filter onto a 0.965" eyepiece. Thanks!
Regards,
Cyrus

somehow possible, by using a threaded adapter. say maybe a 1.25" to 0.965" adapter that is being threaded for filters.

Is there anywhere I can look to find something like this?

Unless your focuser or diagonal is also a small 0.965" type, perhaps you can just screw on the 1.25" filter on your 1.25" diagonal or 1.25" eyepiece adaptor?

richard's idea is workable and doesn't cost a cent.

Unfortunately, my focuser itself is 0.965". What luck!

For visual use, try holding the filter in front of the eyepiece while viewing. As your focuser & eyepieces of 0.965" barrel size gives a very limited field of view, you may like to consider a future upgrade, as you will see a big difference when you try a 2" eyepiece!
