TS Adapter from T2 to 1.25" Length 54 mm - Focusing Adapter for Astrophotography

TS Optics Adapter from T2 to 1.25" - focus adapter for astrophotography with DSLR cameras

With the TST2-1-54mm adapter we have designed a very special solution for astrophotography. We have taken into account two special features:

♦ The working distance of most correctors and reducers from the T2 thread to the optimum camera position is 55mm (this is exactly the optical path of an SLR camera with a T2 adapter).

♦ Many Plössl and Kellner eyepieces have the field stop, i.e. where the focus of the telescope should go, for example, at the transition from the 1.25" sleeve to the eyepiece body. In order to compensate for larger field stops high, the adapter remains one millimeter shorter.

With the TST2-1-M54mm adapter you can turn a simple Plössl or Kellner into an ideal finder eyepiece and an effective focusing aid for astrophotography.

This works very simply: take a suitable eyepiece from the bottom of your eyepiece (many have simple eyepieces in the drawer, of course you can also order suitable eyepieces from us). And then do the following:

♦ Focus your camera in the telescope as best as possible.

♦ Unscrew the camera with the corrector adapter, the T2 thread becomes visible.

♦ Now screw the adapter TST2-1-54mm with the eyepiece.

♦ Loosen the adapter clamp and adjust the sharpness by slowly pulling the eyepiece. When the object is perfectly sharp, hold the eyepiece.

You already have a perfect finder eyepiece or an effective focusing aid, depending on the focal length of the eyepiece.

Eyepiece focal lengths between 6mm and 15mm are well suited as a focusing aid, eyepiece focal lengths between 25mm and 32mm are well suited as a spotting aid.
