[11.8" / 30 cm] did actual Ronchi star test with Celestron C5C


works as advertised

[11.8" / 30 cm] Excellent filter

[11.8" / 30 cm] This dovetail clamp is well made and has a quality finish. I am building my own custom telescope mount and this clamp should be a secure fixture for my application. The clamp accommodates Vixen-style dovetail bars and should support small to medium size telescopes without a problem. However, I would NOT put a large, heavy telescope on this clamp.

[11.8" / 30 cm] It works just fine.

[11.8" / 30 cm] Basic adapter to facilitate mating camera (Nikon) to my Celestron Edge HD 11 SCT. Works perfect as it should.

[11.8" / 30 cm] I am using the clamp on a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer 2i mount. It is quite versatile in that it can be attached to a mount in several ways. It is very well built and enables secure attachment of lenses/telescopes with Vixen dovetail bars. A very good value.

[11.8" / 30 cm] Very nice. Could use one more thread though. Seems a little short on threading when trying to attach and remove while making lens changes in the dark. Makes me a little nervous sometimes that I will drop it during removal from the lens. Good quality though and I like having it around.

[11.8" / 30 cm] I recently purchased a Nexstar C5. I wanted to replace the 1 1/4" Visual back adapter and supplied diagonal. The Baader Short T adapter allows the use of the Baader T2 prism on this telescope. This combination has full clearance from the drive base at zenith. Some thing that you have to be very careful of when you replace any of the optical path with larger or better products. It also allows for clearance when the Celestron Wi-Fi adapter is inserted into the base. For the smaller nextar mounts the adapter is almost directly under the telescope but at an angle. The combination of this T adapter with the prism is very efficient tight and requires no set screws. It absolutely looks like how this mounting should've been done originally. Please note that the prism is the smallest T2 diagonal that Baader makes with the 32 mm clear light path. And normally comes equipped with an 1 1/4" nose piece on one side and an 1 1/4" eyepiece holder with helical fine focuser on the other. Simply unscrew the nosepiece from the prism and replace it with this short T adapter. There are larger diagonals with both mirror and prism in the Baader line and I cannot vouch for clearance with those models.
