Useful small Baader adapter ring #2458110

[F15Rules]

Hi all,

The Baader T2 connectivity system is known for offering the greatest possible choices for connecting various astro accessories, and although not cheap, they offer excellent quality and build characteristics.

With the above in mind, I just wanted to share a useful small Baader accessory that I came across,  for increasing the versatility of my excellent Baader Zeiss BBHS T2 prism.

These days, I split my viewing between Binoviewing and Cyclops modes: for binoviewing I use 1.25" fit eyepieces, but for Cyclops I tend to use larger 2" eyepieces (some are 1.25" EPs fitted with 2" sleeves).

I have just the one Baader Zeiss prism which is physically the smaller sized unit, very similar as a bare bones prism to the standard T2 unit. 

I wanted to use my 2" and 1.25" clicklocks with the BBHS prism, and with the shortest light path..my 2" clicklock is the basic clicklock body, so I needed a short adapter to join the prism's T2 male thread to both 2" and 1.25" Clicklock's M48 female threads..and, I found this adapter with just 2.5mm optical length..

Some more photos follow, showing how I configure my BBHS prism in both 2" and 1.25" formats:

 

 

 

Hope that's of some help to others on here..😊

Glad that's of some help, John😊

The ring adapter and the tool for removing/tightening/loosening various adapters were readily sourced from Flo. I'm sure they are also available elsewhere too..
