Baader FCCT (Filter Changer Camera Tilter) for RASA 8" and QHY Cameras

Baader Tilter-System

The Baader UFC-Tilter (#2459146 , € 276) , as well as the Baader M68-Tilter (#2458170 , € 255) are mechanical image position correctors for Baader UFC or M68 adaptation systems, which, when assembled, allow the image corners of a CMOS/CCD camera on the telescope to be adjusted very sensitively from the side without having to remove the camera.

Exclusively for the RASA 8 and QHY cameras, we have developed the Baader FCCT, a filter holder with camera tiliting mechanism for the largest possible usable image field, sharp image corners and lightning-fast fine corrections. The Baader FCCT (Filter Changer Camera Tilter) with its extensive range of accessories enables both quick exchange of filters and easy correction of image tilt – without having to remove the camera from the RASA 8". Adjustment can be done conveniently from the side.

3D-printed filter sliders are available for the FCCT, which exclusively accommodate unmounted Baader filters with diameters of 31 mm / 36 mm and 2" (without cell). We offer selected 2" filters especially for the FCCT in an unmounted version.
