Another adapter question

Post by ffellah »

Hello all: I am trying to fit the TZ-4 to the Solar Spectrum filter. What adapter do I need ? I am all set for the telescope side. Here is an image of the two. Thank you in advance for your help.

The TZ4 is T2 I think?

Is the SS an SCT thread? I'm not sure?

Hello Franco,
The TZ-4 has a M42 thread. Check Baader website, they have a 2" thread => M42 thread reducing ring for Solar Spectrum etalons. I've got one for my RG-32.
Then you will be able to use your SS with the 2" thread or with the M42 thread.
