Baader heavy-duty 8" double mounting plate, for up to 100kg

very strong plate

I ordered this item for my 10 Micron GM 3000 HPS mount in order to install a 11 inches Rowe Ackermann and a 10 inches Dall Kirkhams side by side + accessories. Total weight is around 55 kg. This is a huge dual mounting plate. Very nice finish, lot of holes for connecting many clamps and dovetails. A nice German quality product.

Baader double mounting plate and holder for guidescope rings (I & II), 300mm with 3" dovetail

Massiv, verwindungssteif, viele Adaptierungen möglich

Die Doppelmontageplatte trägt einen festverschraubten SC 9.25 (3" Basis) und einen Refraktor 102 f/6.4 adaptiert auf einem Baader Stronghold Tangentialneiger. Optional kann ein Lunt 60 Solarscope zusätzlich montiert werden, was in Summe knapp 18 kg Gwicht bedeutet. Das alles bringt die Platte zuverlässig auf die darunter liegende Astrophysics Montierung. Wobei die Platte in eine Pan EQ Dual-Mounting Klemme 3" (230mm) eingespannt ist. Die Art Setup habe ich in der Vergangenheit schon immer genutzt, aber bisher noch nie diese Stabiliät bei den Gewichten erreicht. Extremausrichtungen am Himmel zeigten die Zuverlässigkeit des Materials.

Baader double mounting plate and holder for guidescope rings (I & II), 300mm with 3" dovetail

Edel und beständig

Mit diesen beiden Adjektiven muss man die Platte beschreiben. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Viele Adaptionen auf Grund der vielen (durchdachten) Böhrungen/Gewinde möglich.

9/17/2020 10:01 AM Baader Wide-T-Ring Nikon Z (for Nikon Z bajonet) with D52i to T-2 and S52

Can I attach the T-Ring to a Takahashi FS-60CB with the Multiflattener 1.04x which has a M52x0.75 thread and requires a backfocus of 87.5mm? Which parts would I need?
thanks

The Nikon Z-bayonet has got a flange distance of 16mm, the Wide T-ring adds 8.3mm. So you have 87,5-24,3=63,2mm remaining for adapters. This should be no problem - but we do not have an adapter from M52 to a more common thread.

9/11/2020 5:18 PM Alan Gee Telecompressor Mark II (T-2 part #20)

I want to use the Telecompressor for visual and i want to know how it need to be use with :

Celestron C11 (no edge)
2956233 Baader 2" ClickLock SCL (3.3")
2956100 Baader 2" ClickLock Diagonal Mirror
2956214 Baader 2" to 1¼" ClickLock Reducer (T-2 part #15B) with 31.5 Eyepieces

In the manual it seem need :

2408150 Baader 2" nosepiece to T-2 / M48 (T-2 part #16)
2958242 Baader Expansion Ring 2"a/T-2i with 1mm optical path length (T-2 part #28)

But it's not clear. Can you explain ?

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Answer rated: -1

Yes, that is the recommended installation:
Remove the 2" nosepiece from the star diagonal, then you have access to an SC-thread
Insert T-2 Part #: 28 Baader Expansion Ring 2"a/T-2i with 1mm optical path length (T-2 part #28) # 2958242
Place the collar aof the Alan Gee on the T-2-thread
Secure it with 2408150 Baader 2" nosepiece to T-2 / M48 (T-2 part #16)
Then you can insert the star diagonal as usual into the eyepiece holder of the telescope.

You can change the distance to the eyepiece and by this the reducing factor by adding/removing the included spacer tubes or additional T-2 extensions.

9/10/2020 10:24 AM 9 mm Morpheus® 76° widefield eyepiece

On the Morpheus eyepiece is the focal plane at the 2” field stop or the 1 1/4” field stop?

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Please take a look at the technical data sheet at https://www.baader-planetarium.com/de/downloads/dl/file/id/223/product/2851/morpheus_76_eyepiece_series_technical_data.pdf
Here, you can find the reference plane (the bottom of the 2" nose piece) and the field stop displacement. For most eyepieces, it is equal to the reference plane. Only for the 17.5mm it is displaced by 2.5mm.
