| Intes MN Upgrade (Model IntesMN-MK) [ Model: IntesMN-MK ] |
![]() MoonLite manufactures 8 different sizes of Intes adapters for both MN and MK models. Six of the adapters for Intes Mac/Newts require the re-use of the original curve base portion of the Intes focuser. Just the top section of the original Intes MN focuser is removed and discarded. Pick the correct adapter by determining which base plate your Intes MN scope has. Remove the existing focuser by removing the two small set screws located on each side of the bottom of the curved base. Measure across the hole and match it up with the correct adapter below. Intes Mak/Newts model scopes should be one of the 5 sizes listed below. MoonLite's 93mm Intes adapter fits the MN86. MoonLite's 78mm Intes adapter fits MN56, MN76, MN66, and MN65 models. MoonLite's 70mm Intes adapter fits the MN78. MoonLites 65mm Intes adapter fits very early Intes models. Note: Some older Mak/Newt scopes that used a helical focuser (such as the MN66) may have the old threaded 67mm version, please pick the Intes 67T adapter for those models with a threaded focuser mount. We recently added a new 2 part adapter ($65) for Intes Mak/Newt scopes such as the MN74, MN55, and MN84 that use the 4 bolt mounting configuration shown towards the bottom of this page.
We make 2 adapter kits for the MK (Mak /Cas) models. One size fits the MK65 scopes and the other size fits the MK67 and MK69 scopes. See bottom of this page for info on the MK adapter kits.

The MoonLite Intes adapter plates are designed to fit into the hole of the original curved plate. The MoonLite focuser bolts onto the adapter plate and then the adapter plate is inserted in to the existing MN base plate hole. Rotate the focuser to the desired orientation then lock it in place by tightening up the two original setscrews in the original Intes focuser base. Pick the correct MoonLite adapter size based on the opening of the original MN curved plate hole. We make 5 sizes of this style MoonLite adapter plate to fit 93mm, 78mm, 70mm, 65mm, and an old style threaded 67mm curve plates. Most options are available for the CR focusers such as, brass comp ring option, tri-knob option, motor focus option, pc interface, stepper motor option, focus lock, different drawtube sizes, and full custom anodized color options. Please consider ordering a short travel draw tube option when ordering the focuser so the draw tube will not protrude and bump into the light path when racked fully in. The 1.5" travel draw tubes are popular for both Intes Mak/Newts and Mak/Cas models. Use the pull down menu at the bottom of this page to select the correct adapter based on hole size opening. $40.00

MoonLite produces 2 sizes of adapters for the intes MK (Mak/Cas) scopes. The MoonLite MK67/69 intes adapter fits both the MK67 and MK69 Mak/Cas models. The MK65 adapter fits the Intes MK65 Mak /Cas model. The new adapters allows a CR focuser using the Standard 2" travel draw tube to bolt directly on to the back of the Mak/Cas. The adapter is a plate that uses small set screws to hold it on to the visual back just like the stock focuser. The adapter kit comes with the adapter plate, a 1" and 1/2" spacers, and the bolts to install the new MoonLite focuser. The new adapter/kit allows the focuser to be orientate to any desired position. $50.00 Customer's report that the 2" travel draw tube focuser along with the install kit provide much needed additional back focus. This solves the short focus problem that hamper the Intes Mak/Cas models. Don't forget, most options are available on the focusers, Single speed, Dual speed, dual speed with tri-knob option, custom anodized colors, brass compression ring options, draw tube length options, DC motor focus options, High res stepper motor options, PC interface, and Shaft lock options.
