Adapter 2"/SCTi to T-2a – rotatable

Yes, the VariLock fits between the Ultrashort adapter and any T-ring for your DSLR.

I was looking for this tool! Thanks a lot!

We do have Adjustable pin type face wrench ø 2mm, # 2450062, but it will not fit into this adapter. However, there are several manufacturers of tools to open and repair camera lenses - with these keywords or "Camera Lens repair tool", you should easily find a suitable tool to reach these holes.

The C8 has got an optimal working distance of 5" or 12,7cm from the SC-thread. The camera has got a flange focal length of 17.5mm with the included 11mm T-2-ring which is included with the camera (there are other adapters included to achieve the 55mm which are standard for old T-2-lenses and most T-2-reducers/flatteners or a DSLR) You can achieve the perfect distance e.g. with: Baader SC / HD Ultra Short T-Adaptor 9mm # 2958500B T-2 Fine-Adjustment ring 1mm (gold) - Aluminium #2457913 Baader T-2 / 40 mm Extension Tube (T-2 part #25B) # 1508153 FlipMirror in T-2-configuration - length 59mm T-2 Fine-Adjustment ring 0.5mm (red) - Aluminium #2457912 Camera - 17.5mm

Yes this will work

You can always fix the FlipMirror in any desired rotational position, no matter which adapters are attached to it. Simply loosen the screws highlighted on page 5 of the manual, rotate the flipmirror to the desired position and tighten them again. https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/downloads/dl/file/id/1568/product/4285/instruction_manual_baader_flipmirror_ii_star_diagonal.pdf

That’s great, thank you. My adaptor arrived this morning and I have attached it to the telescope. It works just fine, does not “jiggle” or “wiggle” and I applied as much force as I dared to try to pull it off. It didn’t even almost pull off. I am pleased to hear that you and Celestron have shared a detailed specification. I don’t need to know what’s in it. The fact that there is one is enough to reassure me. Thank you very much.

We do cut this thread according to the Celestron directives which are not to be published. We are authorized Celestron Distributor since 45 years and please be restassured that we know how to cut that 2" thread - as long as it will be fitted onto a Celestron-OTA.
