ATM Stupid question re focuser

[Bob Prabowo <BOB@bahana.co.id>]

Hi guys,

I have an Astro System focuser (it was in the package I received from
Joe last year). Anyway, this focuser (I don't know the type) has a
removable barrel. The i.d of this removable barrel is 1.25". Now, if you
remove the barrel, there's another barrel or "hole" which i.d is 2". 

My question is, is this what you call 2" focuser with 1.25" adapter? 

Okay you can laugh, it is a stupid question but I've to make sure. This
is the first focuser of this type that I've seen. well I've seen it in
the magazine etc but that's all, never seen a real one prior to this
focuser.

What makes me feel really stupid is the fact that I have this focuser
for a long time, I've tried it on my 5.6" Alice-like focuser board, BUT
I didn't know that it has a removable barrel. I found out about it
yesterday when it accidentally fell when I tried to fit the focuser into
my 13" focuser board.

Thanks, and have a laugh :-)
