# 2458272
€ 10.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 8.40- Maxbright II Bino rotation lock/auxillary-ring – for the shortest possible adaptation of the Maxbright® II Bino directly onto all Baader T-2 star diagonals.
- The adaptation via the M34-thread of the Maxbright® II Bino is especially suited for telescopes with f/10 or slower, to directly screw the binoviewer onto the star diagonal
- This direct connection does not leave room for a Baader glasspath-corrector, but the shorter optical length may be just short enough to not needing a glasspath-corrector at all
- The T-2 Locking ring with lever - for MaxBright® II (#2458271 , € 36,-) is required for this adaptation
- This auxillary-ring allows the changing of the interpupillar distance without moving the locking ring

- Insert diameter: ∅ 38 mm
- Suitable to insert into the Baader MaxBright (Classic and MaxBright® II)
- A Baader Glaspathcorrector is not a Barlow lens! The reason for this name (in Germany the name Glaswegkorrektor® is a protected trademark by Baader Planetarium) is only secondly the displacement of the focal point
- A Glaspathcorrector is primarily intended to correct the prismatic color fringing that occurs on Refractors due to the high amount of glasses used in binocular prisms
- Please note: The Baader MaxBright® II Binoviewer with case (#2456460 , € 479,-) is the only Baader-Bino where you can choose between Zeiss ring-dovetail and T-2 thread adapter.

# 2459350
€ 34.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 28.57- Baader Turbo Film 127x51cm (Optical Density: 0,1). Use to protect your telescope and optical equipment against dust and humidity – without reducing the optical quality
- This is the essence of AstroSolar safety film. A highest precision, crystal clear material (not “Mylar”).
- It is a monomer film which we found after thoroughly testing more than 200 different film samples on our Zeiss autocollimator. This film was used in german Science Institutes as optical membrane for nuclear and particle physics experiments. The basic substrate has been further refined and homogenized by a proprietary annealing process that was developed exclusively for us.
- Due to these treatments Turbo Film attains perfect homogeneity and performs equal to a 1/10 wave plane parallel optical window. In fact it has the lowest wedge error of any existing optical window. TurboFilm will protect your valuable optical equipment, close telescope tubes against dust and humidity, greatly reduce air currents – all without reducing the optical quality of your telescope.
