You have a lot of documentation on how using this with an eyepiece but none that I can found if I want to directly connect my camera to the eyepiece holder without going through the eyepiece itself.
* In this case is there a minimal extension distance to respect between the camera and the (empty) eyepiece holder? (with eyepiece for full frame hybrid you say 95mm)
* What is the impact of the extension distance on the magnification? (with eyepiece equivalent focal length is Feq=Ftel*(d/Feye-1)

Answer rated: 1Adaptation to the eyepiece is pretty straight-forward: To use the maximum aperture, remove the T-thread from the T-ring and insert 2" / S52 Nosepiece # 2958551. Then you can insert it into your eyepiece holder, just like an eyepiece.
You can also use the T-thread of the adapter and use Baader 2" / T-2 (M48) nosepiece with Safety Kerfs # 2458130 or Baader 1¼" T-2 nosepiece with Safety Kerfs # 2458106, if your telescope hasn't got a T-thread (M42x0.75) on its own (some telescope have got one integrated). This is fine for cameras up to APS-C (or MFT, if you want to use the 1¼" nose piece).
For a full frame camera, T-2 can cause vignetting, and you should use the S52 / M48 adapter #2958552 plus Baader M48 extension tube 40 mm / 2" nosepiece with Safety Kerfs #2958640 as adapter to the 2" eyepiece clamp. This way, you can use the full aperture.
The distance between camera and sensor doesn't change the focal length, as you are using the native focal length of your telescope. So, on a telescope with a focal length of 1000mm, the camera sensor has to be placed 1000 mm behind the objective. Only then you'll see a sharp image.
Caution: If you are using a star diagonal, you should remove it for photography. A 2" star diagonal is approximately 10-11 cm long, so you may need a mechanical extension to reach focus without it, if the focuser doesn't extend enough. We have extension tubes for T-2 (e.g. Baader T-2 / 40 mm Extension Tube # 1508153); for M48, you can stack e.g. some M48 extension tube 40 mm / 2" nosepieces #2958640.
The backfocus of your telescope or the camera adaptation in general should be mentioned in the manual of our telescope. If you can insert an eyepiece without a star diagonal into your focuser and see a sharp image, you probably don't need an additional extension.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on May 6, 2024 9:55:00 AMRated: 0

My Baader S52 adapter included a a thin shim ring approx 0.5mm thick. Does this shim need to be installed to maintain the optical length of 13mm?Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: 1The optical height of 13mm is only the UFC filter base. As soon as you add an additional adapter, such as the S52 camera adapter with an optical height of 2mm, the optical height changes accordingly to 15mm. This height is always without the 0.5mm thick intermediate ring. This is only required if you need particularly precise backfocus requirements and you are missing 0.5mm for perfect backfocus, for example. Otherwise, please always use the adapters without additional intermediate rings.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Apr 30, 2024 9:29:00 AMRated: 0

I managed to get the focus with my hershel baader and my TS-Optics RFT 6" f/5.9 refractor , but I am forced to take the glasspath of my barlow VIP and put it on my bino and the super it works.
I would like to know which glasspath to take to have the same magnification factor but no more. I use it with a pair of panoptic 24 MN and I would like to keep the entire disc in the bino.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLYIs Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: 0The Glasspathcorrector 1:2,60 for Baader-Binoviewer # 2456317 is very similar the Barlow lens in the VIP barlow with only a slightly different optical design to achieve the colour correction. You can install it the same way as the lens element of the VIP and should get the same magnification.
Depending on the version of your Herschel prism, there may be even shorter adaptations, so that you can use lower magnifications - we have recently (spring 2024) updated the manual of our Herschel wedge # 2956510 to better show the use with old and new models of our Herschel wedge.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Apr 22, 2024 9:18:00 AMBaader Planetarium GmbHOur company exists now for more than 50 years.
