TS Optics 2" and T2 Flip Mirror and Off Axis Guiding System - with 360° rotation for Astrophotography, TSFlip
Description
- ... one of the most versatile solutions for multiple connections - for observation and imaging - with free adjustable large side viewing port
- Teleskop Service has broken new ground and developed a completely new alternative to classical Flip Mirror Systems - Not only the short design but also the versatility of use is revolutionary.
- A multi-coated prism guides the light by 90° out of the system. When inserted, the prism sits exactly in the middle of the optical path. So you see exactly the same object in the middle as the camera does after the prism has been pulled outside. So it's easy to centre an object for your camera or high-power eyepiece.
- Focusing the sideward terminal: First, focus the camera or eyepiece that sits in the straight-through position. Then (without touching the telescope's focuser) focus the 90° eyepiece or camera by loosening the top screw beneath the T2 thread and slide the adapter up or down. Then, tighten the screw again. Now both eyepieces / cameras are in focus.
- Adapter recommendations for the T2 terminals: TST2-1-T2L - for 1¼" accessories / TST2-2 - for accessories with 2" nosepiecese / T2-CS - for cameras with C mount thread / T2-EOSs - short adaptation for Canon EOS cameras. Adapter recommendations for telescope connection:TSVF230 - for standard 2" focusers / TSSC-M48 - for SC back ends / BA2458110 - for T2 back ends
Flip MirrorHere, no mirror is flipped but a large prism is placed onto the optical axis for 90° viewing position. In straight-through mode, the prism is pulled outward and clears the optical path. Centre the object with the 90° viewing position, pull out the prism and capture the now centred object with your camera or observe it with a high-power eyepiece.Off Axis GuiderThe prism is placed at the rim of the optical field. Now the autoguider can "see" stars outside the camera's field of view. This application is recommended for sensors up to approx. 30mm diameter (APS-C). The flip mirror is rotatable by 360° making finding a guide star easy.Necessary back focus for visual observation or photography with CCD cams / web cams: 75 mmNecessary back focus for photography with (D)SLR cameras: min. 82 mmTechnical details:- Telescope side thread: M48x0.75mm (2" Filter thread) - Straight-through and 90° terminal: M42x0.75mm (T2 thread) 360° rotatable - Optical length: 35.5 mm (male T2 thread not taken into account) - Distance from prism centre to 90° T2: 46 .. 55 mm - Distance from M48 thread to prism centre: 17.8 mm - Free aperture of 90° terminal: 16 mm - Free aperture of straight-through body: 38mmTSFlip connection threads:Telescope side: female M48x0.75mm (2" filter thread) - 360° rotatableCamera side: male T2 (M42x0,75) - 360° rotatable90° terminal: male T2 (M42x0,75)
