Description/Uses:
- Photo adapter for Takahashi FC-60 refractor with M42 / T / T2 male threads.
- Features an M56x0.75 female thread on one side and an M42x0.75 male thread on the other side.
- Recessed 5mm below the M56 female thread is an M52x0.75 female thread, so this might be able to function as an M52x0.75 female to M42x0.75 male thread adapter (please check specifications below for clearance requirements).
- Also comes with an M42x0.75 female threaded lock/orientation control ring which allows you to vary the spacing or orientation of your imaging camera or other M42/T threaded accessory.
Features:
- Precision machined, black anodized aluminum
Specifications:

- Length of M56 female thread (including unthreaded undercut) = 5mm (0.20")
- M52 female thread specification = M52x0.75
- Length of M52 female thread (including unthreaded undercut) = 5mm (0.20")
- M42 male thread specification = M42x0.75
- Length of M42 male thread (including unthreaded undercut) = 8mm (0.31")
- Optical length = 12.1mm (0.48") minimum assuming that entire M42 thread is used up and M42 lock ring is not utilized. Optical length will be longer if this is not the case.

Notes:
- The M42 lock ring has slightly oversized threads so it might feel loose by itself on the M42 male thread. However, it will lock securely against your camera or M42 threaded accessory.
