• To use T-2 parts on a M43i x1 female thread (meaning a M43 female thread with 1mm pitch per turn), we recommend our Baader M43a x 1 / T-2a Adapter (e.g. for Vixen) (#1508037 , € 33,-)

• Enables the use of up to three instruments at the focal plane of a telescope.
• Designed, manufactured and assembled in Germany
• The light passes through the IMP either undisturbed to the rear port (port 1 with 85 mm free diameter), or it can be deflected to the left or right (ports 2 and 3 with 67 mm free diameter) via two automated 40 x 40 mm mirrors with BBHS coating.
• Can be controlled by a keypad or remotely via a webinterface.

• made of V2A stainless steel
• Ø 140x30mm, bore Ø 28,7mm
• 3 kg

• Nosepiece 2" to M54a, ultra-hard with Safety-Kerfs

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!
