• Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
• Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a telescope-sided black outer rim
• Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but likewise excellent for CCD camera technologies

• Scope of Supply of SkySurfer III includes the widest selection of individual adapters to mount the unit directly onto binoculars and beside spotting scopes as well as any telescope brand. The new double length housing makes it suitable for rough solar alignment by aligning the shadow, cast by the tube shaped housing.
• SkySurfer III red dot sights - Adjustable LED visor viewfinder
• Much easier to use than the popular Celestron and Skywatcher "Red Dot finders". Clear aperture is 30mm rather than 20mm
• Long dew shields are mounted before and behind the lens to prevent fogging
• The 1: 1 objective lens is non-reflective and darkens the sky much lower than competitive viewfinders
• Mounts directly onto Weaver & Picatinny standard rails

• Colour Filter Set with 6 colours for contrast enhancement of lunar and planetary observations.
• Largest free opening of all the colour filters on the market which eliminates any vignetting.
• Double 7-layer anti-reflection coating with only 0.25% residual reflection per surface (Phantom Group Coating) resulting in no reflections, scatter or dimming.
• Planeoptically polished for sharp image at high magnification.
• Included Filters: Dark Blue Filter, Light Blue Filter, Green Filter, Yellow Filter, Orange Filter and Red Filter
• Non-ageing sealed coating

• Focal lengths Fine Tuning for Hyperion eyepieces (all focal lengths)
• Optical path length 28mm
• Spacer rings fit between the negative lens and the 2 "barrel, so that it matches the respective eyepiece to your needs.
• The 13 mm eyepiece transform e.g. no loss of quality in a 9- or 11 mm eyepiece.

• 4 nm FWHM, recommended for extremely fast optical systems from < f/2.3
• Specially designed for the special filter requirements when used with extremely fast f/2 optics like the Celestron RASA astrographs
• For highest contrast even at strongest light pollution, minimizes star size, emphasizes finest nebula detail – indispensable under Bortle 9/8/7/(6) skies
• Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
• Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a telescope-sided black outer rim
• Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but likewise excellent for CCD camera technologies

• Incl. 4 pc leveling screws for adjusting the mechanical axis of the telescope to match w. the optical axis
• Only suitable for BDS-NT Diamond Steeltrack for Newton telescopes

• 47.4 mm (2" w/o cell) x 2 mm Baader CMOS H-alpha f/2 Ultra-Highspeed Filter – Premium Grade
• 2" Filter removed from filter cell, specially selected for use with 2" Filter sliders of the Baader FCCT (Filter Changer Camera Tilter) for RASA 8" and QHY cameras (various versions available)
• 3.5 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time with O-III / S-II), recommended for extremely fast optical systems from < f/2.3
• Specially designed for the special filter requirements when used with extremely fast f/2 optics like the Celestron RASA astrographs
• For highest contrast even at strongest light pollution, minimizes star size, emphasizes finest nebula detail – indispensable under Bortle 9/8/7/(6) skies
• Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
• Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a telescope-sided black outer rim
• Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but likewise excellent for CCD camera technologies

• Coma corrector for Newton telescopes, that reduces neither the focal length nor the image field of your telescope
• Large lenses for completely vignetting-free exposures up to f / 3.5. Maximum sharpness over the entire image field
• Phantom Coating™ Group multicoated for maximum transmission and total freedom from reflections
• Next to the photographic only version, there is also a visual version that contains all parts of the base elements as well as additional adapters for visual application:
  • 2458400A: Photographic Version with removable 2" Stoppring, usable either with T-2 (M42x0.75) or M48x0.75 connection
  • 2458403: Visual Version (V-1 Set) contains all parts of the photographic Version MPCC Mark III #2458400A as well as 1¼" to T-2 focusing eyepiece clamp (#2458125) and adjustable VariLock T-2 extension tube 20 – 29 mm (#2956929)

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 V-1 set.

The idea for this new and much more versatile set was born after we received this detailed question regarding eyepiece adaptation on MPCC, where we recommended our VariLock and focusing eyepiece clamp as best accessories.

• Additional Protective-Disconnect Connecting Cable, 12V 0,5 m for 60W OTP 2457630/40
• 1x included in 60W OTP scope of supply

• suitable for temperatures from -50°C up to +60°C
• wide stretched synthetic grease with constant viscosity across an extremely large temperature-range
• Especially suitable for use in the mirror sliding fittings of SC-telescopes (i.e. Celestron), as the grease does not produce any outgasing, does not react to vapor-pressure, does not harden over time - and does not decompose into a solid and a liquid part over time.

• Baader UBVRI-V Bandpass Filter, suitable from
• Classic photometric filter with transmission according to Bessel – parfocal with all Baader filters of the same size
• Manufactured with most advanced ion beam coating technology / Daylight-Proof
• Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
• Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a telescope-sided black outer rim
• Equally suitable for modern CMOS cameras as well as for older CCD camera technologies

• Baader UFC S70/5 VariLock Extension 15-20mm
• Continuosly (stepless) adaptable UFC extension with millimeter scale for fine-tuning of the optical height between 15 and 20mm in the UFC system
• telescope-sided with S70 dovetail clamp (screws included)
• camera-sided with S70 dovetail
• can be adapted via the S70 dovetail to the UFC filter base #2459110 and allows adaption of telescope-sided adapters with the S70 dovetail clamp

• Robust and torsion-resistant binocular holder (L-shaped tripod adapter) made of 4 mm thick steel (no plastic, no aluminum)
• In contrast to many L-shaped bino-holders which are made from less rigid materials, the Bino-Stronghold enables the jitter-free mounting of binoculars (with ¼" thread in the binocular bridge) onto any tripod equipped w. ¼" photo-thread
• The "Stronghold" steel binocular-holder has a particularly slim design to accommodate small interpupillary distance for any binocular. Other "L-brackets" made of aluminum are much too bulky to allow the binocular to fold down and reach the innermost 10 mm of pupil spacing
• excellent in combination with the SkySurfer III red dot finder, as well as e.g. the Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 binocular
