Founder Optics 2.7" Dual Thread Adapter with M48x0.75 Male Thread to Attach Field Flattener to FOT106 Telescope # DTA-FF2.7. Field flattener sold separately.
- Designed for Founder Optics reducer and field flattener use
- Best choice for advanced refractor astrophotography
- Captures the best image through the mechanical stability connection
- Different from traditional mechanical connection - stabilizes connection by using thread adapter instead of tension adapter or screw
- Reduces the gap from every mechanical unit to get a good collimation for the best image shot
- High precision machining thread to give the best connection between draw tube and field flattener/reducer
- Adjust adapter ring to position camera in the correct direction. (only 2’’ will need to adjust as 2 pieces. 2.7’’ is one piece)
How to use:
Step 1: Remove 2’’ barrel from the field flattener/reducer
Step 2: Fix the T2 ring mount on the M42/M48 thread (if for DSLR camera) and also remove the barrel adapter from the telescope.
Step 3: Connect the adapter with the flattener/reducer (andT2 ring mont) to the telescope.
Step 4: Connect to the camera (CCD or DSLR camera).
Disassembly:
- Remove the camera from the T2 ring mount first.
- Rotate the whole set of dual threaded adapter and the field flattener/reducer counterclockwise, then separate all the components step by step.
