On the evening of August 12, 2026, an extraordinary celestial event is on the horizon: A total solar eclipse will pass over parts of Europe—though not over Germany.
Here in Germany, we will experience an impressive partial eclipse, which will nonetheless offer a rare and spectacular sight. Germany will be entirely within the Moon’s penumbra. As a result, the sun will not be completely, but clearly and visibly “nibbled away.”
What do you need to safely observe the solar eclipse? You can find a list 👉 here!

This system adaptor permits the use of the professional M68 adaptor ...
The T2i-M28i TS adapter is only 10 mm long and allows eyepieces to be quickly adapted to the T2 external thread.
- Connection at telescope end: T2 (M42x0.75) female thread - widely used or easy to fit
- Eyepiece side mount: M28x0.6 internal thread - on some eyepieces the 1.25" filter thread is also used to connect to the barrel.
- The 10mm length saves valuable optical path
- The second image shows the use of the adapter between ORIR12 and TSOAG27 (eyepiece, illumination and off-axis guide not included).
