I want to buy a Baader focuser for my Orion 80 Ed refractor. Can you tell me what focuser, finder bracket and adapter is needed so I can order?Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: 0You need
2" BDS-RT Baader Diamond Steeltrack Focuser # 2957210
EITHER RT-Adapter M90x1.5 Diamond Steeltrack® (Skywatcher) # 2957284 OR RT-Adapter M90x1 Diamond Steeltrack® (Skywatcher) # 2957283
Baader Standard Base - for MQR III & IV & for V-Bracket, and for all Vixen-style finderscope mount bases # 2457000 (see page 14 in the manual for installation)
Unfortunately, Sky-Watcher uses two similar threads, so we have to ask you check which one is used on your telescope. To do so, please unscrew your current focuser and check if the tube has got a M90x1 or M90x1.5 thread. For measurung the thread, please check https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/blog/clicklock-clamp-for-your-telescope/ where we describe the measuring method with an image.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Mar 19, 2024 8:55:00 AMRated: 0

I own a since (about) year 2005 a Baader/Zeiss binocular viewer (there is no catalog label on the case, I think it is a Marl IV, physically it is identical to Mark V). I have now a 1.25x glass corrector and would buy a 1.7x one. I see on a datasheet paper regarding Mark V that the corrector has a "factor 1.70x - can be installed before the Baader 90 degree prism diagonal for 2x". I did not know that the corrector could be installed in another way (where, how?). It means that my 1.25x, that is in fact mounted in-between the bino and the 90° diagonal, provides a 2x factor?
Thank you, best regards

Answer rated: 0The glasspath corrector works similar to a Barlow (although the optical details are different), and its magnification factor depends on the distance to the eyepiece (see e.g. https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/blog/barlow-lenses-their-magnification-factors-and-working-distances/ ). So, if you place a GPC farther away, its magnification changes. They are designed for a specific distance, but work quite well in different distances, too.
For such applications, they can be mounted between two T-2-threads of many T-2-adapters (e.g. between two T-2-extension tubes), their collar is then clamped between the two parts.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Mar 18, 2024 11:06:00 AMRated: 0

Does the eye relief change when using any extension ring?Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: 0There may be a slight decrease in eye relief with the Hyperions when used with an extension, but it is barely noticeable - the eyepiece can still be used comfortably with glasses.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Mar 14, 2024 9:14:00 AMBaader Planetarium GmbHOur company exists now for more than 50 years.
