• Next to the photographic only version, there is also a visual version that contains all parts of the base elements as well as additional adapters for visual application:
  • 2458400A: Photographic Version with removable 2" Stoppring, usable either with T-2 (M42x0.75) or M48x0.75 connection
  • 2458403: Visual Version (V-1 Set) contains all parts of the photographic Version MPCC Mark III #2458400A as well as 1¼" to T-2 focusing eyepiece clamp (#2458125) and adjustable VariLock T-2 extension tube 20 – 29 mm (#2956929)

Please note: This set replaces the former set #2458402 for visual and photographic application of the MPCC Mark III. The old set consisted of a multitude of rings – but was not adjustable in optical length such as this V-1 set.

The idea for this new and much more versatile set was born after we received this detailed question regarding eyepiece adaptation on MPCC, where we recommended our VariLock and focusing eyepiece clamp as best accessories.

• Additional Protective-Disconnect Connecting Cable, 12V 0,5 m for 60W OTP 2457630/40
• 1x included in 60W OTP scope of supply

• suitable for temperatures from -50°C up to +60°C
• wide stretched synthetic grease with constant viscosity across an extremely large temperature-range
• Especially suitable for use in the mirror sliding fittings of SC-telescopes (i.e. Celestron), as the grease does not produce any outgasing, does not react to vapor-pressure, does not harden over time - and does not decompose into a solid and a liquid part over time.

• Baader UBVRI-V Bandpass Filter, suitable from
• Classic photometric filter with transmission according to Bessel – parfocal with all Baader filters of the same size
• Manufactured with most advanced ion beam coating technology / Daylight-Proof

• Robust and torsion-resistant binocular holder (L-shaped tripod adapter) made of 4 mm thick steel (no plastic, no aluminum)
• In contrast to many L-shaped bino-holders which are made from less rigid materials, the Bino-Stronghold enables the jitter-free mounting of binoculars (with ¼" thread in the binocular bridge) onto any tripod equipped w. ¼" photo-thread
• The "Stronghold" steel binocular-holder has a particularly slim design to accommodate small interpupillary distance for any binocular. Other "L-brackets" made of aluminum are much too bulky to allow the binocular to fold down and reach the innermost 10 mm of pupil spacing
• excellent in combination with the SkySurfer III red dot finder, as well as e.g. the Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 binocular
