Hi Gene,

Sorry for the slow response, been away from my scope for a few days and
unable to make the measurements.

The focuser travel of my old Celestron 80WA version is 62mm

I have the adapter off the scope now and will take it to work to verify the
thread measurements in case you haven't got that figured out yet.

Clear Skies,

PL
