Sehr gutes Produkt

Hervorragende mechanische Ausführung, einfach, sehr zweckmäßig und auch bei Dunkelheit leicht und sicher zu betätigen. 5 Sterne sind angemessen.

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.

5/12/2021 11:51 AM Baader Solar Continuum Filter (540nm)

I have bought this filter but not yet tried it. Soon I will do imaging of the sun with my Celestron Neximage 5 + APO 2x Barlow and my OTA, Celestron C8" XLT.
I have also bought your AstroSolar Safety Film and will use it in front of the C8".
Is this enough for imaging of the sun or will it be too warm and harm my equipment?
Friends of mine have said that it is also needed to add an extra IR filter to reduce the heat, but this is something I haven't read from you in Baader. Maybe it's some amateur's ideas without the correct knowledge.
I have bought many things from you and think you are one of the best optic manufacturers in the world. I really trust your skills and your products.
So before I start imaging the sun, it's better to ask you for good advice instead of destroying my equipment. :-)
Regards,
Bo Sundin aus Schweden

Thanks for your kind words. We can confirm that AstroSolar Safety Film (OD 5.0) in FRONT of your optics is suitable of protecting your instruments and eyes. No need for an additional IR-filter. Please also check out www.astrosolar.com for more informational pages as well as FAQs.

5/12/2021 11:16 AM Baader U-Venus-Filter (350nm)

Do you think that Celestron Neximage 5 with 2X APO Barlow and this 1 1/4" filter in an OTA, Celestron C8" XLT will be sensible enough to capture Venus cloud structures?

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Answer rated: 0

We have not tried this combination but the U filter is very dark wich lead to very long exposure times even with ideal cameras. Furthermore the camera you mention has a colour sensor with bad UV sensitivity. Therefore we doubt that you will create nice images of the Venus clouds with this combination.

5/1/2021 7:01 PM 2" BDS-SC Baader Diamond Steeltrack® Focuser

Am i right in thinking, to rotate the entire focuser housing after installation to align with the OTA, its the 6 black flat head screws that loosen to allow this to be achieved ?

Answer rated: 2

Yes, by setting the screws not too tight, you have a slipping clutch. You can also replace one of the screws with a thumb screw (it is a M5 thread, if I remember correctly).
