After this long summer period with the solar eclipse in USA we are glad to herewith introduce
2" MPCC V-1 Mark III Newton Coma Correktor - SET: Visual and Photographic Version
- Coma corrector for Newton telescopes, that neither does reduce the focal length nor the image field of your telescope
- 46 mm clear lens diameter in M48 mode – enables exposures free from vignetting
- designed for fast f-ratios up to f / 3.5. Maximum sharpness across the entire image field
- Phantom Coating™ Group, multicoated for maximum transmission and total freedom from reflections
- Visual & Photographic Version consisting of:
- Optionally recommended: Hyperion / Morpheus 2" Finetuning Stopring #2958027
Please note: This set replaces the former set #2458402 for visual and photographic application of the MPCC Mark III. The old set consisted of a multitude of rings - but was not adjustable in optical length such as this new set.
The origin of this new and much more versatile MPCC-set got inspired after we received this detailed question regarding eyepiece adaptation on MPCC, where we recommended our VariLock and focusing eyepiece clamp as best accessories.
The Family of T-Pods got larger: T-Pod Baader Aluminium-Tripod, adjustable from 95 to 130 cm
-
- now also available with height adjusting range of 95 cm – 130 cm
- excellent stability with minimal weight: 12,25 kg own weight
- high payload capacity of 100 kg total payload
- easy setup and takedown, top plate pre-drilled for Baader Tripod-Adapters (see below)
- high-quality materials: black anodised hard aluminium and stainless steel. Solid construction for a long lifetime
- easy transport with built-in handles & dedicated soft carrying bag (Carrying bag is included)
- small folded dimensions for easy transport
Baader H-alpha CCD-Narrowband-Filter 7 mm, 31 mm
- 1¼" Baader H-alpha CCD Filter, FWHM 7nm with 31 mm diameter
- halfbandwith 7 Nanometer, thus best suitable for Full Frame CCD Cameras and CMSOS cameras
- excellent high-contrast Deep-Sky H-alpha filter for RGB-application, kills light pollution and is totally free form reflection
- 7-layer mutlicoating on camera side, plane-optically polished
New Baader f/2 Highspeed-Filterset, 31 mm, consisting of H-alpha- (#2459381), O III-, (#2459382), S II-Filter (#2459383)
- f/2 Highspeed Filterset consisting of 3 Filter: H-alpha, O III and S II. Highspeed Narrowband Filter are designed especially for the delicate requirements of extremely fast astrograph optics, in particular Hyperstar and RASA
- conventional narrowband filters cause a heavy loss in transmission due to the strong CWL-shift. In extreme cases the CWL even does shift out of the FWHM (CWL= Center-wavelength / FWHM= full width half maximum). Therefore these filters have a CWL-preshift which matches f/2 to f/3 perfectly.
- the FWHM is optimized. In spite of the typical line broadening with such fast optical trains they are able to deliver maximum contrast
- for the first time use fast optics really effectively with high contrast emission nebulae imaging. Triple S/N-ratio when compared to common narrowband filter at f/2.
- using these filters between f/1,8 and f/3,5 shows a dramatic improvement compared to any regular set of narrowband-filters
SpecTrack Autoguiding Software for Spectroscopy
-
- The Innovation: Autoguidung at a star within the spectrograph's slit
- Store different configurations of guidecam and mount
- Online or offline activation
- Up to three activations on your own systems at the same time possible
- BACHES Remote Calibration Unit RCU control possible
- Can be used with any slit spectrograph
- Even autoguiding at stars possible (stellar astrophotography)
Please note: we put the following Baader products in the last months into our online shop:
1. Heavy Duty 8" Double-Mounting-Plate
- 8" (width 203mm) heavy-duty dovetail bar 570mm in total length, mounts onto heavy mounts such as 10Micron GM 3000 or GM 4000
- requires one 8" Planewave Clamp (# 2451555) – see application images) for attaching the Double-Mounting plate onto the mount to move left and right.
- allows dual mounting of two optical tubes side by side – with total instrument payload up to 100kg (~220 pound)
- pre-drilled for most Baader-bars and clamps, eg.: Baader Pan EQ clamps 190mm, 230mm, 370mm or an additional 8" Planewave clamp
2. Baader Tripod Adapter for Vixen AP Mounts
- suitable for Vixen AP mount
- suitable for the Baader T-Pod Aluminium Stativ 75-110 cm and 95 - 130 cm
- this adapter also fits onto Vixen-, Bresser- or Sky-Watcher tripods
- Attention: for adaptation on Baader Short-Pillar III the Universal Flange-Basis (#2451155) is needed in addition
3. 2" Baader Nosepiece with Safety Kerf
(T-2 Bauteil #19A)
- hard ultra 2" nose piece ultra hard, with Baader proprietory Safety Kerfs (introduced with our Morpheus and Hyperion Zoom Mark IV eyepieces: The numerous shallow kerfs give additional grip and security from inadvertent slipping, without the annoying problems sometimes caused by traditional deep undercuts)
- Focus side 2" (50.8mm) male thread (SCT thread) – incl. female M48 filter thread for cell mounted 2" filters
- Telescope side 2" outer diameter – also with 48mm filter thread for cell mounted 2" filters
- for numerous applications, such as mounting the Baader 6x6 T-adapter (T-2 component #17) onto 2" focusers. For improving the 2" nose piece of all Baader 2" star diagonals a.s.f.
- Morpheus® Adapter to convert the Morpheus M43 male top-thread into a SP54 male thread – without adding onto the optical height
- this adapter allows connection of most standard camera lenses with filter threads to adapt onto each Morpheus® eyepiece, to use the eyepiece for afocal eyepiece projection photography and achieve outstanding planetary images
- for connection your camera-lens onto the SP54 thread, you need in addition our "Hyperion DT-rings"
- this adapter is exclusively suitable for Morpheus® 76° eyepieces and is not designed to fit the Hyperion or Hyperion-Zoom family of eyepieces because the optical distance must fit for the Morpheus- eyepieces
5. Baader UFC AUX Filter-Holder 31 mm (#2459151), 36 mm (#2459152), and 1¼" (#2459153)
- auyillary filter containers for unmounted 31mm (#2459151) / 36mm (#2459152) and 1¼" (#2459153) mounted Filter
- requires 1x UFC D50.4 Slider #2459113
- mounts into the UFC D50 slider, this combo site inside the UFC filter-base and allows fast exchange between filters while still holding every filter safe and firm
- Just one "click" onto the brass-pin releases the filter holder from the magnetic fixture. Afterwards it can be removed easily
6. Baader UFC M72 Camera-Adapter
- Optical height: 2 mm
- telescope-sided with mounting plate for UFC-Base (screws included)
- camera-sided with M72 outer thread (e.g. for Starlight Xpress cameras)
- can be adapted via the included screws and the mounting plate to the UFC filter base #2459110 and allows camera-sided adaptation of adapters/cameras with M72 inner threads
