1) How long is the overall length of this adapter including the 2" nosepiece. I know the optical length is 47mm, so how long is the attached 2" nosepiece?
2) How deep can a 2" eyepiece be inserted into this adapter? I have a 2" eyepiece with a 38mm nosepiece. Will I be able to seat it all the way in?
Thanks,
Steve
Much to my surprise, I found that the ClickLock is unable to lock the Skywatcher original coma corrector: even if the ClickLock is completely closed, the coma corrector still slips free in the focuser tube.
The same issue appears with the SharpStar 1X coma corrector.
Were you aware of this issue?
Thiis problem could be easily solved if the ClickLock was able to reach a slighly smaller diameter at its maximum closing position.
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem, other than return the ClickLock a use the original focuser adapter? I really love the ClickLock
2) Then, does the 4.1" i UNF part have a female thread of M68X1 like the separately sold product (# 2458191)?
3) Are the 3 set screw holes drilled on the 4.1" i UNF exactly the same as those on the Feather thouch focuser FT3545?
thank you.
I have to screw The Baader ClicLock in the telescope, but i have no locking screws to secure the ClicLock to the telescope.
On my Skywatcher Mak 150 i also have a Baader ClicLock, and that one does have locking screws to secure the ClicLock to the telescope.
So why i can"t the ClicLock to my Apo?
Is this an issue or is it designed like this? I also thought that the part would be smooth when rotated, but I can feel distinct clicks so to speak. I just want to make sure that this unit is good and not defective, and I have never use this type of system before
I have a Quattro and the manual says this is a 54.5mm x 1 thread. I have verified this by threading a 54mm x 1 accessory on to the scope and it was very loose. What exactly is the threading on your ClickLock?
1. The length of the barrel: a posted answer says it is ca. 24mm.
2. The overall length of the extension: a posted answer says it is 60mm.
3. The problem with these answers is that 37mm + 24mm = 61mm, not 60mm.
4. How deep a 2" barrel can be inserted into the 37mm Clicklock Extension? I don't believe this information has been posted in an answer yet.
Thank you very much!

The M64 (Takahashi) or the M60 (vixen) model could suite . But I do not have their thread pitch.
What is the thread pitch of the M64 ClickLock (Takahashi ref # 2956264) and the M60 ClickLock (Vixen, ref # 2956260) ?
Thank you.
1. Do I leave the base ring on the SCT (it's mounted quite tight, I haven't been able to remove it with normal force), and just use the 2" threading? Or do I remove the base ring (with extra force?) and use the 2" Baader ClickLock with 3.3" clamp?
2. Do I need to compensate for the extra length of the standard setup cone? And if yes, how is this accomplised?
3. If I want to use the Celestron .7x Focal Reducer for the 800 EdgeHD, I'm assuming this goes between the SCT and the Baader ClickLock?
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance!
(Further detail: The lever hits my Celestron Focus Motor. So I have to remove the Focus Motor before I can install or remove the ClickLock. If I could temporarily remove the lever, I could fully rotate the ClampLock with the focus motor in place.)
Morpheus 2" and 1,25" barrel have a length of 45mm and the clicklock adapter with thread 36,5mm, does this means the 1,25" barrel will hit the prism?

I just bought an Explore Scientific 127ED APO FCD-1 2'' R&P focuser (https://www.bresser.de/fr/Astronomie/Telescopes/EXPLORE-SCIENTIFIC-ED-APO-127mm-f-7-5-FCD-1-Alu-2-R-P-Focuser.html)
What kind of Baader 2" ClickLock eyepiece clamps version should i take ?
Thanks
Thank you.
I have a stack that is working for my camera setup. Is there an option that works for the visual setup?
The tube does not have an external thread nor an internal thread. I think that it uses a flange-like fitting.
If you have a model that will work, which one is it?

which has 2.5" HEX Focuser, which 2" Clicklock Eyepiece Clamp would be appropriate?
Also which diagonal would you recommend for use to terminate with a clicklock eyepiece also. Would you suggest attaching the diagonal directly without a compression or clicklock fitting?
thanks
I have a Nikon DSLR and that I use with and without a Focal reducer. What other Clicklock products would I need to purchase?
I own a Celestron EdgeHD 9.25 SCT with CPC mount. It comes with 2" back and 2 inch diagonal. Can I replace the back with the #2956233 SCL (3,3")-ClickLock and then interface the Baader 2" ClickLock Diagonal Mirror# 2956100 ? I don't see this combination described in your documentation. If I missed it, apologies.
This would allow me to easily rotate the diagonal if needed and would appear to keep focal length very close to original. There is no problem with zenith rotation of OTA.
Any comments on doing this are appreciated.
Thanks!

I would like to connect my Nikon D750 directly to the back of my SCT by using the Baader 2" ClickLock SC/HD (2") clamp (2956220).
What else I need to buy in order to do that?
regards,
Sorin
I would like to try and figure out which clicklock item I can use with whatever combination I wish to try, but I am finding all this a bit confusing as I don't understand all the various threads etc..
Can you help me please? (I may need some diagrams to help understand)
Many thanks,
Kevin

Details
The Baader ClickLock®-System (1¼" / 2") in an overview
Never before has an eyepiece clamp for amateur astronomy been so elaborately crafted.
Heaviest tested load: complete C14 with SCL 2" ClickLock clamp and a 2" ClickLock mirror diagonal with Scopos 30mm Extreme eyepiece. Attention: not recommended for imitation!The Baader ClickLock (1¼" / 2") is a precisely fitting, very massive eyepiece clamp without clamping screws (!). Inserted eyepieces, CCD cameras and similar accessories are securely held in place, locked against rotation and won't be scratched in any way! With a small turn of 20°, each eyepiece is firmly clamped. You will never have to handle small locking screws again – instead, just rotate the top of the eyepiece clamp for a few degrees, and the eyepiece will be firmly fixed. This is also no problem with gloves on!
Our various ClickLock clamps are made of seven precision-machined components which provide a highly effective retention mechanism that securely holds any 1¼" or 2" eyepiece. The clamp is very expensive to assemble, the price therefore initially may appear high for "nothing more than" a clamping device. But if you think about the comfort, precision and stability, it's well worth the money.
You do not have to tighten the ClickLock clamps with brutal force, because the mechanical principle comes from professional mechanical engineering. This is how the tool holder in modern CNC milling centers works. Clever use of leverage multiplies the torque. The inserted object is held on three sides similar to a quick-action chuck and can therefore no longer carry out any tilting movements.
Detailed information about the 2" ClickLock system
Example of switching a standard 2" clamp to 2" ClickLockWe have tested the effectivity and stability of the ClickLock mechanism for many years with the 1¼" ClickLock clamp.
The 2" ClickLock system is designed to be much more mechanically solid.- Even a 20° turn with light pressure of the rotary lever is enough to hold all 2" accessories absolutely securely and firmly.
- Ratchet function – indicates the position of the clamp acoustically and haptically. So you can know if the clamp is open or closed in the dark and without looking.
- Massive tension ring – keeps even the most expensive accessories absolutely safe, without causing scratches and bruises
- The position of the rotary lever is adjustable for left-hand / right-hand use either by six camera slotted screws or by six Allen screws with a hexagonal wrench (depending on the model)
- The heaviest tested load to date is a complete C14 with an SCL-clamp and a 2" Click Lock star diagonal with a Scopos 30mm extreme eyepiece. The C14 has been lifted on the eyepiece. We emphasize that this test setup is not is recommended for imitation.
- The extensive range of ClickLock clamps makes it possible to retrofit the Baader 2" ClickLock clamp on many telescopes
With the 2" Clicklock clamp, you can also convert e.g. your 2" Maxbright mirror (or the 2" universal prism) to the Clicklock system, simply unscrew the old 2" clamp and screw on the new 2" Clicklock clamp.
