Digital cameras now enable amateurs to take spectacular images of solar system objects with their favourite telescope. However, numerous obstacles must still be overcome to match camera to telescope, both optically & physically. Ideally, what is required is a rigid & secure method of coupling the wide variety of popular cameras, that allows the astro-imager to use their own eyepieces & to easily vary the distance from camera-to-eyepiece for the optimum position. Our New Baader Micro Stage II Clickstop Digital Camera Adapter delivers this flexibility, with a brand new twist to help in framing & focusing. Normally, with other camera adapters, the user must frame & focus the eyepiece first, then attach the camera, being careful not to disturb the infinity focus. With the Micro Stage II Clickstop, the camera can be adjusted to accurately center on the eyepiece, then the camera can be simply pivoted away from the eyepiece for easy visual access to the eyepiece. Twist the camera back into position, tighten the lock screw & that's it! The camera may be pivoted out of the way anytime & instantly returned to its aligned position. A detent (Clickstop) ensures a consistent return position every time. The combination of cast clamp & support arms permit an easy & precise alignment of the camera to eyepiece, with just about any camera & eyepiece combination. The Micro Stage II quickly attaches to an eyepiece by it's single clamp knob & large-area padded V-block clamp. The clamp has been designed to attach to a large range of both 1.25 & 2 eyepieces (29
- 63mm eyepiece outside diameters). The Micro Stage II even readily adapts to spotting scopes & binoculars. Each Micro Stage II comes in a leatherette storage pouch & folds into a compact flat configuration for easy storage in camera cases, etc
