  • David Astro 2" Nosepiece to M48 Adapter

    The David Astro 2" Nosepiece to M48 Adapter links a standard 2" focuser to accessories with an M48 thread. The 2" nosepiece slides into the focuser and the M48 thread on the other end takes an M48 T-ring, camera or accessory.

    From a 2" Focuser to an M48 Thread

    The nosepiece is held in the focuser by its clamp, like a 2" eyepiece. Thread your M48 T-ring or accessory onto the other end to complete the connection.

    M48 or M42?

    The M48 thread is wider than the M42 T-thread (T2). With larger camera sensors, an M48 path lowers the risk of vignetting. Most DSLR and mirrorless T-rings use M42; for those, choose the David Astro 2" Nosepiece to T2 Adapter instead.

  • What is the David Astro 2" Nosepiece to M48 Adapter used for?

    It connects a camera or accessory with an M48 thread to a telescope with a 2" focuser or visual back.

    Will it fit my standard M42 (T2) T-ring?

    No. M42 and M48 are different thread diameters. For an M42 T-ring, use the David Astro 2" Nosepiece to T2 Adapter.

    Why choose M48 over M42?

    The wider M48 thread lowers the risk of vignetting (darkened corners) with larger camera sensors.

    Can I thread 2" filters into the nosepiece?

    Whether the nosepiece has a filter thread is not stated in our product data. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm it for you.

    Which end goes into the telescope?

    The smooth 2" nosepiece goes into the focuser or diagonal holder. The M48 thread faces the camera or the next accessory.
