TS-Optics short Adapter from SC to 2" - Rotation System
TS-Optics short Adapter from M48 to 2" - Rotation System
The multifunction adapter allows using the large Riccardi 0.75x Reducer with telescopes with the Starlight FTF3545 focuser.
- The Riccardi Reducer is sunk into the drawtube so there is no problem with reaching the focus.
- At the camera side, the adapter offers an M68x1 ZEISS style connection thread for further adaptions like off-axis guiders or filter wheels.
- The adapter has 4.5 mm optical path. This distance has to be subtracted from the working distance of the Riccardi reducer.
With the variable extension tube 20.5-31 mm, you can exactly set the working distance and mount even very heavy cameras.
This focuser is more stable and more accurate than usual Crayford focusers. We recommend the focuser especially for astrophotography.

The digiscoping adapter BW-T2 allows attaching of cameras to BW spotting scopes from TS Optics.
- Suitable for, amongst others, all older TS BW spotting scopes, and also to all eyepieces with 37 mm connection thread
- Easy adaption - instead of the eyecup, the adapter is screwed to the eyepiece
- Suitable for SLR, mirrorless system cameras and also cameras with fixed lenses
- Connection adapters can be found in the "recommended accessories" section below
This adaptor screws directly into the Canon EOS body and enables you to connect objectives and adapters with M48 (M48x0,75) 2" filter thread.
