Baader Planetarium: Over 50 Years of Innovation in Astronomy
From accessories to turnkey observatories
The company Baader Planetarium is a middle sized enterprise having 50 years experience in producing and installing astronomical equipment.
More than 600 observatory domes of sizes from 2 m up to 8.5 m have been mounted, together with a large number of projection domes for planetarium installations up to 10 m in diameter. Observatory domes serve for a multitude of applications for scientific use around the world specialized to work under the hardest of environments, with installations in Antarctica (Dome C - 84°C) to high Arctic regions such as Svalbard (NyAalesund -45°C), Ellesmere Island (Eureca -60°C), in desert conditions with hermetic seals against dust and a number of high Alpine locations. Also the company specializes in high end robotic telescopes with apertures up to one meter as European sole distributor of Planewave Instruments USA, telescope mounts of varuious configurations, Echelle spectrographs featuring a resolution up to 20 000 lambda/delta lambda under Licence of MaxPlanck Institution(MPI).

- If you need to reduce glare and want to use a filter ahead of the focal point (e.g. before a binocular), then the neutral density filters are just right.
- Fine optical polish results in no loss of sharpness at high magnifications even with a filter position 20-30cm in front of the focal point.
- Phantom Group coated. No ghosting, reflections or stray light.
- Threaded both sides of the glass allows combination with other filters (e.g. Baader Colour Filters).

- Coma corrector for Newton telescopes, that reduces neither the focal length nor the image field of your telescope
- Large lenses for completely vignetting-free exposures up to f / 3.5. Maximum sharpness over the entire image field
- Phantom Coating™ Group multicoated for maximum transmission and total freedom from reflections
- 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.

- O-III Super-G filter with 9 nm FWHM and a maximum transmission of 97%.
- For visual and photographic observation of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants, even with small telescopes
- Can be used as a "Super-G filter" replacement for RGB photography. While regular G-filters suffer from bad seeing due to air turbulences, the narrow range of 9 nm passes less thermal noise, i.e. sharper images. Nevertheless, the transmission window is large enough not to be considered a pure narrowband filter.
- CMOS-optimized coating technolog with much steeper slopes of the filter passband - for increased contrast, longer life and to avoid reflections.
