By asking these questions, we would like to help you determine what distance is available between the end of the telescope (“flange focal distance”) and the start of the camera connection thread - in millimeters

Once we know this (together with the telescope-side and camera-side threads), we can help you determine the correct components and spacers. The question about the type of filter you want to use is not only aimed at us being able to name the right filter drawer for you, but also the glass thickness of the filter. This allows us to take the glass thickness of your filters into account when recommending the correct spacer rings.
