It adds exactly 5.8mm (0.228\") of optical path length, a critical distance for standardizing backfocus between different camera systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise 5.8mm Spacing for T-to-C Conversion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary function of this adapter is to manage the backfocus difference between specific camera types, particularly in fast optical systems like a HyperStar. The 5.8mm of spacing it introduces is designed to match the backfocus differential between a CS-mount camera, such as a Mallincam, and a standard Starlight Xpress camera. This allows you to swap between these two camera standards on a HyperStar lens or a HyperStar with a Filter Slider without needing to reconfigure your entire spacing setup, ensuring both cameras reach focus correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhat threads does the T-to-C Adapter use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter features \u003cstrong\u003efemale M42 T-threads\u003c\/strong\u003e on the telescope side and \u003cstrong\u003emale 1.0\" C-threads\u003c\/strong\u003e on the camera side, allowing you to connect C-mount cameras to T-threaded accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eHow much backfocus does the T-to-C Adapter add?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter adds a fixed distance of \u003cstrong\u003e5.8mm (0.228\")\u003c\/strong\u003e to the optical path.
