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!

Takahashi offers rotating camera mounts for its telescopes, which are necessary because most of the company's focusers are not rotatable. However, this rotator also makes sense visually, as it allows the ZSP or other accessories to be conveniently rotated into the desired position. The quality is so high that there is no play even when the screw is loosened.
- Connection on the telescope side: M56x0.75 internal thread
- Connection on the camera side: M56x0.75 external thread
