• For 3" (Losmandy-style) dovetail-clamps or mounts with standard 3,2" hole pattern
• Compatible with other clamps and guidescope rings

• 100ml Optical Wonder™ Cleaning Fluid, dislodges dirt, aggressive aetherical oils from pollen and fat
• Dries up completely without leaving any residue or wipemarks
• cleans without scratching: eyepieces, objective lenses – even mirrors (please see separate instruction)

• Complete packaging for The Original: Baader Planetarium (#2000000 , € 2450,-)
• Already 1x included with the planetarium

• Ideal for Newton Focuser e.g. Baader Newton Crayford focusers with only 1mm optical path length
• Provides three separate mounting optios for 1¼" accessories
• Side clamping screw and brass clamping ring for secure grip. Also includes countersunk grub screws for permanent or quick release operation of the brass clamping ring.
• The countersunk Delrin grub screws allow for the pressure to be set correctly. This acts as a quick release without relying on set screws. When an eye piece is inserted it is held securely and safely while still allowing the eye piece to be removed.

• Telescope adapter for telescopes with IR90 - integrated Rotating Focuser to the Instrument Multi Port IMP85 (#2451300 , € 7950,-)

• Much larger prism as in the so-called "Erecting prism"
• Many Erect image prisms have only 19 mm free passage opening and therefore are not suitable for terrestrial observations at low magnifications, because the field of the eyepiece is shaded by the too small prism.

• Sturdy swivel arm with clickstop for cameras up to 1.5 kg
• For afocal projection photography
• ClickStop Twist-Lock-Mechanism

Photography with larger cameras

The Microstage II is the universal solution for small compact cameras. Large cameras up to DSLR require a sturdier connection. In this PDF you find an overview of all adaptation options using the camera bayonet or lens thread

• 47.4 mm (2" w/o cell) x 2 mm Baader CMOS RGB-R (595 – 690 nm) Bandpass Filter, suitable from f/15 to f/1.8
• 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)
• Anti-reflection RGB filter (red/green/blue) with extremely high transmission of the respective color channel, thus simultaneously reducing stray light and reflections to an unprecedented level
• Balanced RGB design allows subframes to be taken with the same exposure time – extremely important for automated imaging tasks
• 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

• Converts an M68 (Zeiss) male thread in an M68 internal thread!
• For the operation of 2 "/ M68

• Baader H-alpha Ultra-Narrowband Filter – Premium Grade
• 3.5 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time with O-III / S-II), recommended for optical systems from > f/3.4
• 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

We explicitly warn against observing the sun with a DeepSky 3.5 nm (equivalent to 35 Ångstroem) H-alpha narrowband filter, specialized solar chromosphere and prominence filters from SolarSpectrum start at 0.8 Ångstroem. Photographic experiments with a camera are theoretically possible, but by no means observe the sun with naked eyes – you endanger your eyesight!
