The adapter allows the correctors to be connected with an external thread M68x1 and at the same time sink into the draw tube; suitable for TS RC telescopes with an aperture of 10" or more, among other things
♦ Connection on the telescope side: External thread M77x0.75 - suitable for the internal thread of the TS 3" MONORAIL LSLPR3 focuser
♦ Also suitable for TS-Optics RC telescopes that are equipped with the 3" monorail focuser
♦ Internal thread M68x1 on the telescope side, correctors such as the TSRCRED can be screwed in there.
♦ External thread M68x1 on the camera side for future adaptations
♦ The optically effective path from the inside of M68 to the outside of M68 is 7 mm. The external thread does not count.
♦ The 78mm specification on the technical drawing is incorrect, it is a M77x0.75 thread.
TS-Optics multifunction adapter for connecting M68 accessories to focusers and adapters with internal thread M77x0.75
The adapter transitions to the ZEISS connection thread level M68x1. This allows you to connect M68x1 accessories to the focuser.
The special feature of the adapter is another internal thread M68x1 on the telescope side. You can attach correctors to this thread and then sink them into the extraction tube. This type of connection has a number of advantages:
♦ The entire mechanical travel of the corrector or reducer is saved and thus a valuable working distance is gained. Focusing is often only possible with this connection.
♦ The focuser lever is cheaper because the weight of the corrector is on the tube and therefore closer to the telescope.
♦ The adapter allows complete screwing. Skew can be ruled out, as is possible when fastening more than 2" or 3".
