It will not thread on to the rear of my LX. Did I read that wrong?? I feel kind of dumb ordering it.

Daniel, don't feel bad, I think we are going to find it was worth the 19.99 we paid for it.

Let me do a little research and I will get back with you.
As far as worth goes, I am thinking those things sold for around $100 at one time, so you are getting your money's worth. The trick will be to find out exactly what they are good for with your eyes, your scope, and your location.
If someone else has that exact filter, do not hesitate to chime in.

The image you will get will be dimmer than what I see, but some nebula should stand out more than with mine.
Daniel, if your filter will not screw onto the back of your SCT, then you need to call them. If you have a 2 inch eyepiece and this thing looks really big, then you might try threading it into your 2 inch filter and see if it is actually a 910X.

Bill, I tried screwing it on everything, no dice. I may call CS to see if they can assist. I have a feeling, I will need an adapter, and if that is the case, I will scrap it, and get the 1.25 version.

Is this the 911X that you ordered? Is that what it says on the rim?

I didnt relize the microfocuser adater screwed off the rear cell becuase it was so tight (I actually thought it was part of the rear cell). Wish I would have sat down with this before Friday. I had just replace my Dec gears last week and setup the scope for observation Friday night. I really wanted to check out the reults of the filter!
There is always next week, hopefully!
PS, that Series 5000 UWA 24mm eye piece is quite awesome.

I was really hoping something like that was the problem. But, you never can tell, there is the possibility of a manufacturing glitch.
Glad to hear the problem is solved.

By the way, if you don't mind, have you had a good chance to test out the filter and how do you like it?

So I decided to give it one more try, and glad I did.
I didnt relize the microfocuser adater screwed off the rear cell becuase it was so tight (I actually thought it was part of the rear cell). Wish I would have sat down with this before Friday. I had just replace my Dec gears last week and setup the scope for observation Friday night. I really wanted to check out the reults of the filter!

PS, that Series 5000 UWA 24mm eye piece is quite awesome.
The three set screws really tighten down the adapter ring. When I added my micro focuser, I put the ring on hand tight. Once the screws were tight, you couldn't budge the assembly. When I want to use my focal reducer I have to use the SCT insert on the micro focuser. I haven't tried the 24mm with the focal reducer, using that configuration. From the reading I've done, you can run of of focusing range. Next time out, I'll try it.
