• The gear regulates the following four functions
• The earth rotating around its own axis (rotation)
• Earth's axis pointing towards the celestial poles
• The motion ofthe moon around the earth
• The shifting ofthe lunar nodes. It causes that the position of the chromed ring in which the moon runs - the imaginary position of the moon's orbit to the earth changes according to the conditions in nature

• 3.5 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time with O-III / S-II), recommended for fast optical systems from f/3.4 to f/2.3
• Specially designed for the special filter requirements when used with fast f/3 optics
• 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

NEW VERSION: Steeldrive II motor focuser with Controller

Steeldrive I for Classic Steeltracks is not produced anymore. On this product page you can inform yourself about the Steeldrive I for classic Steeltrack focusers and download the corresponding software.

More details about Steeldrive II

• Baader U-Filter (Venus and UV) 350nm.
• Transmission peak approx. 80% at 350nm, bandwidth 60nm (320-380nm), completely blocking the entire spectral range from 200nm to 1120nm.
• Dielectric multi-coating on optically polished Schott Glass.
• Enables imaging in the deep UV spectral region. A "breakthrough" for imaging the planet Venus! Allows amateur astronomers to capture cloud structures of the Venusian atmosphere.
• Successful astro-application of this filter requires a suitable UV-sensitive lucky imaging camera module (i.e. SKYRIS 274M) with at least a telescope of 5" diameter (a telescope with an 8" diameter is recommended).
• Non-astronomical applications possible: e.g. check for paint damage on cars or state of health of plants and much more. Read more in the detailed description or with a translate tool on this (german) test review: Baader-U" in the "terrestric" Photography

• For locking camera orientation
• Fits between (almost) any of our T-2 fittings
• Allows the rotational rotation of flanged accessories, locking in the appropriate position
• An important component to heavy CCD cameras to connect directly with T-2 thread without the compromise of a plug connection

• Baader S-II Narrowband Filter – Precision Grade
• 6.5 nm FWHM, recommended for optical systems from > f/3.4
• 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

• Full field sharpness: The ultra-sharp 76° undistorted flat field is unsurpassed by any other modern wide field eyepiece. Also on-axis sharpness and contrast rivals our best, ever released planetary eyepieces, the Zeiss Abbe ZAO I & II.
• Long Eye Relief and optimized for bino-viewing:  ~ 20mm of eye relief provides that famous spacewalk feeling, incredibly impressive with bino and both eyes.
• Hard aluminium alloy with industrial quality UV-stabilized anodizing surrounds a set of 8 lenses with one ED- and two Lanthanum elements.
• 2" and 1¼" nosepiece: integrated into one eyepiece of 55mm max outer diameter, supports bino-viewing even for kids.
• Photo-Video Adaption: Like their Hyperion siblings, all Morpheus eyepieces make superb imaging projection optics with the M43 photo/video-thread
• The Morpheus 17.5 mm is the only eyepiece of the Morpheus series that is not parfocal to the rest of the series. It requires 2.5 mm infocus.>/li>
