Baader Planetarium UFC S70/C14 Hyperstar/SC/HD Adapter with S70 Dovetail Ring

Before embarking on your astrophotography journey, it's crucial to understand the importance of precise adaptation when using the UFC S70/C14 Hyperstar/SC/HD Adapter with S70 Dovetail Ring. This high-quality, durable adapter, manufactured by the reputable Baader Planetarium, is designed to connect your camera lens to a telescope with pinpoint accuracy.

The precision required for adapting a camera to the Hyperstar system is +/-0.3mm or better. Any deviation from this could potentially compromise the quality of your images. To illustrate this, consider a Celestron C11 telescope, which has a backfocus of 59.7mm. If you use filters with a thickness of 2mm, typically used for 2"/M48-housings, the focus shifts 0.66 in the extrafocal direction.

As a general guideline, a filter moves the focus in the extrafocal direction for 1/3 of the filter's thickness. To calculate the correct adjustment, subtract the flange focal distance of the camera from this value (rounded to 60.7mm). The remaining distance is then adjusted by the UFC and its adapters.

This professional, versatile, and reliable adapter is compatible with a wide range of cameras and lenses, making it an ideal choice for various astrophotography needs. Remember, precision is key when using the UFC S70/C14 Hyperstar/SC/HD Adapter with S70 Dovetail Ring, ensuring you capture the cosmos in all its glory.
