Product Info
Manufacturer Description
This Baader SCT-T adapter # T2-21 # 2408160 has a female SCT thread (2', 24TPI) on one side, and a standard male T / T2 (M42x0.75) thread on the other side. This short T-2 threaded adapter enables you to couple all of the T-threaded components of the Baader ASTRO T-2 System to your SCT while using a minimum of valuable back-focus distance. This deluxe short adapter is particularly useful in attaching the optimized SCT photo-visual Alan Gee Mark II Telecompressor, and fits all Celestron and Meade Schmidt Cassegrains.
The short length also permits you to pair the Alan Gee II Telecompressor with the Baader/Zeiss Giant Binocular Viewer, providing incredible large-aperture wide field binocular viewing at f/5.9! The internal surface is fully sharp threaded and blackened to kill stray light reflections. Using the short T-adapter and Astro T-2 System, your SCT becomes the perfect platform for a wide array of potential visual and imaging configurations. The two-piece design allows you to adjust the orientation of your equipment before you fully thread in the SCT adapter.
The Deluxe Adapter (#T2-21) uses only 15mm of distance and offers an additional knurled ring that allows a grip surface for rotation of your T-threaded component. It includes a wide fluted surface to enable better grip and result in more secure locking onto the 2" SCT thread.
Total adapter length = 27.3mm (1.07"); Maximum outside diameter = 56mm (2.20"). Adapter weight = 1.7oz.

Works great for the ZWO ASI1600 Pro
Pros: Cons: Comments:I got this to help with the backfocus locking (and orientation) of my new ZWO ASI-1600MM Pro kit. Since the backfocus is so critical, but also getting the filter wheel oriented properly for mount balance, this worked perfectly for both objectives.

Sep 6, 2014Couple this with a Baader T2 Diagonal!
Pros:Lightweight,Easy to Use,Strong Construction,Accurate
Cons: Comments:I use this with my Baader T2 prism diagonal on my C8. This keeps the optical paths short enough to prevent vignetting with a focal reducer. If you want to avoid the aperture reducing effects of a long optical train, such as using a 2" diagonal with focal reducer on the C8 or smaller SCTs, then this is the best solution I know of for a diagonal. That is, the Baader T2 diagonal used with this SCT adapter.
