Expensive but worth itI don't have the time, dark skies or observing site to warrant using more than a dslr for astro imaging and its substantial cost. The alternative was getting the chip on Canon 750d modified and by a reputable organisation, and it was the best decision in my imaging progress. No problems and the conversion done to very high standards. Despite heavily light polluted skies I can now pick up a Hα signal. The best results require a fair bit of processing, but use a CLS filter or Hα clip filter and it gets a lot easier. Images with 750d, Skywatcher Esprit 80ed f5/400, AVX mount, exposures typically 3-5 minutes iso 1600, greyscale with Hα filter from colour. The downside is the expense, including sending a camera insured to Germany. The conversion was done in about a week.Boris -
Canon DSLR Umbau auf Baader ACF... letzte Woche habe ich von Ihnen meine EOS 350D nach erfolgtem Umbau zurückerhalten. Auf den ersten Blick war keine Änderung zu erkennen - weder äußerlich, noch in der Tageslichtfotografie. Normale terrestrische Bilder sehen durch den von Ihnen bereits vorgenommenen manuellen Weißabgleich genauso aus wie zuvor. Die Flatfields, die ich gleich für verschiedene Wechselobjektive angefertigt habe, zeigen, dass der Umbau sehr sauber erfolgt ist. Ein einsamer winziger Fleck in der rechten unteren Bildecke verrät ein Staubkörnchen, das sich vielleicht sogar erst nach dem Umbau auf den Filter verirrt hat. Jedenfalls sehen die Flats sauberer aus als vor der Modifikation. Auch die Fokuslage habe ich mit mehreren Wechselobjektiven gleich getestet. Sie hat sich tatsächlich nicht verschoben. Wirklich beeindruckend waren die ersten Testaufnahmen, die nach überraschendem Aufklaren am Osterwochenende möglich waren. Die schwächsten Sterne sind (mit einem f/2.8 135mm Teleobjektiv, abgeblendet auf f/4) tatsächlich nur ein Pixel (!) groß. Der Umbau hat etwa vier Wochen gedauert (Sendung von Wien nach Deutschland, Umbauzeit, Retoursendung). Schön wäre gewesen, über das Einlangen der Kamera bei Ihnen mit einem kurzen e-Mail informiert zu werden, aber auch das war mit telefonischem Nachfragen kein Problem. Zusammenfassend lässt sich ohne Übertreibung behaupten, dass durch Ihren Umbau aus einer bedingt astrotauglichen DSLR eine echte Astrokamera wird. Danke für die sorgfältige Behandlung und das perfekte Ergebnis!E. Matys

Baader S-II Narrowband-Filters (6.5nm) – CMOS-optimized
Is the Baader S-II 2" Narrowband-Filter (6.5nm) – CMOS-optimized the same as the discontinued Baader S-II 8nm CCD Narrowband-Filter 2" would the CMOS optimised version be parfocal with the older standard CCD versions of this filter?
Answer rated: 1If your optics is so well color corrected that parvocality only means to keep the filter thickness the same as befoire, then indeed the new CMOS-optimized filters are parfocal to all Baader-filters as we try to keep the substrate thickness consistent troughout all our filters.
Otherwise we want to confirm that the new CMOS-optimized filters are on a much higher level of coating technology compared to the previous ones.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Sep 13, 2021 8:34:00 AMRated: 1

Baader M68 Tele-Compendium
I have a TZ-3 telecentric lens. Can it be fitted into the Tele-Compendium, considering that the TZ-3 has a 2" opening on the front side, while the Telecompendium apparently has a T-2 adapter. Being the TZ-3 useful aperture larger than the T-2 diameter, would that represent a drawback for the ideal optical configuration?
Answer rated: 0The telecompendium has a 2" thread inside on the telescope side, into which a 2"/T-2 reducer is screwed. If you take this out, you have a 2" internal thread and can screw on the TZ-3 directly. In addition, the focal point of the telescope is approximately in the center of the TZ-3.
Therefore the beam at the entrance of the TZ-3 is very narrow and fits through the 25mm opening there. Only in the TZ the beam path is widened and parallelized so that even a Halpha filter with 46mm free aperture is fully illuminated.

Baader UFC (Universal Filter Changer)
What parts do I need to connect the UFC to my eyepiece and telescope? My eyepiece is your Baader Hyperion Mark IV using the 2" nosepiece. My telescope is an Apertura AD8 dobsonian with a 2" Crawford focuser.
Answer rated: 5This can be done e.g. with:
Baader 2" Safety Kerf nosepiece with 2" filter thread # 2408156
Baader UFC S70 / 2" SC-thread (f) Telescope-Adapter (optical height: 1 mm) # 2459128
Baader UFC Base (Filter Chamber) telescope-sided S70 dovetail receptor (optical height: 13 mm) # 2459110
Baader UFC 2" (m) SC Camera-Adapter (optical height: 2 mm) # 2459120
Baader 2" ClickLock SC/HD (2") clamp (C5" - C9¼") (optical height: 47 mm) #2956220
Please note that this will add 63mm to your focuser. At a Newtonian which has got an extension to reach focus with eyepieces, you need to remove this extension; it may work. Please check the focus position of your telescope to find out if you have at least 63mm of backfocus available when you remove the extension.
You could also use
Baader 2" Safety Kerf nosepiece with 2" filter thread # 2408156
Baader UFC S70 / 2" SC-thread (f) Telescope-Adapter (optical height: 1 mm) # 2459128
Baader UFC Base (Filter Chamber) telescope-sided S70 dovetail receptor (optical height: 13 mm) # 2459110
Baader UFC M48 (m) Camera-Adapter (optical height: 2 mm) # 2459116
Baader 2" ClickLock M48i clamp (2" filter/photo thread) (optical height: 36,5 mm) 2956248
which would be about 1cm shorter, but then you are limited to eyepieces with shorter nosepieces (about 30-35mm).
If possible, you should remove the 2"-clamp of your telescope - maybe there is a thread belwo, to which the UFC can be attached with a matching telescope adapter. Unfortunately,, we do not know that specific telescope and do not know if tehre is a thread and which dimensions it has got.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Sep 6, 2021 8:47:00 AMRated: -3

6,5 mm Morpheus® 76° widefield eyepiece
Does this eyepiece work with my Sky-Watcher Skyliner-200P - 1200 mm (f/5,9) Dobson telescope?
I already have a Barlow GSO ED 2x 2”, should this work together?
Answer rated: 1The eyepiece will work very well with your telescope but we cannot guarantee how good the image will be with GSO Barlow attached, we never tried this combinationAnswer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Sep 3, 2021 8:15:00 AMAnswer rated: 0GSO Barlow x2 is a 2” with ED FMC treated glasses and has a very nice quality. Then which Barlow you should recommend instead? Thanks!Answer by: Joao Pinhao on Sep 3, 2021 9:31:35 AMImportant warranty information
