ALT
Mounts from Eckhardt Alt
ALT mounts cannot shine either through voice control or through Internet support, but they certainly belong to the most precisely functioning and at the same time highest instrument load bearing mounts. For many years, Baader Planetarium has exclusively supplied the mounts manufactured by Mr. Alt, both individually and largely by hand. Mr. Alt has been retired for several years now.
At this point we would like to thank Mr. E. Alt for the many years of good cooperation and wish (albeit with regret) a pleasant, well-deserved retirement.
If you have any service questions concerning ALT mounts, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will forward your inquiry if necessary.
On our www.baader-planetarium.de website we had an extensive presentation of the ALT mounts, which we would like to make available to you here as a reference in PDF form (sorry, German language only). At the current time (January 2019) we still have very few ALT mounts in stock and this is probably the last opportunity to purchase such a mount. We do not offer these as single products on our website, if you are interested, please contact us.

Baader MaxBright® II Binoviewer with case
What is the lightpath length of this binoviewer?
Answer rated: 2The value of 110 mm +/- ca. 1mm (same as in the Mark V) was measured on a refractor. The small error margin of the measurement is caused mainly because of the diopter adjustment. Because of the not-standardized position of the field stop in eyepieces, it is always a good idea to plan with a security margin of some more millimeters.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Feb 19, 2020 8:53:00 AMRated: 0

2" MPCC Mark III (Multi-Purpose Coma Corrector for Newtons)
Is it possible to connect the MPCC to a DT RING SP54 /M52 ?
If yes which intermediate ring should I use.?
Thank you
Answer rated: 0You can use
Baader Hyperion DT-Ring SP54/M52 for DTAdapter II&III and Hyperion Eyepieces # 2958052
to get from SP54(female) to T-2 (female), then you can screw this adapter to the T-2-thread of the MPCC and have a male M52-thread on the camera/eyepiece side of the MPCC.
But please do not ask about the correct distances for a camera lens, we never tested this under the stars.

Baader C-Mount Canon EOS
I want to attach my Celestron Neximage 10 to my Canon eos lenses. Canon eos cameras optical distance from the back of lens to the sensor is 44mm. The distance of this adapter is 26mm and the back focus of my Neximage is 13.1 mm. Would I need an extension tube 5 mm long to achieve focus? Thank you, David.
Answer rated: 0Yes - even if you might be able to reach focus without the 5mm extension, the sensor would be so far away from the distance for which the lens is designed, that the quality would suffer.
So, we highly recommend the extension.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Feb 12, 2020 9:43:00 AMRated: 0

Baader Short Pillar III w/o Flange Adapter
What is the recommended weight capacity of the pillar?
Answer rated: -1This depends on the connection to the pillar below. The short pillar itself is made of massive steel, this part itself can easily handle ~100kg of weight, the question is how solidly you are mounting it onto your pillar.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Feb 11, 2020 12:19:00 PMRated: 0
