M48x1 Adapter for FFEDAPO
This adapter converts the output of the Explore Scientific FFEDAPO 2-inch Field Flattener to a male M48x1 thread, providing a wider connection for cameras, filter wheels and other imaging accessories with a female M48x1 thread.
Secure M48x1 Threading for the FFEDAPO Flattener
Used in place of the M42x0.75 adapter, this M48x1 adapter gives the flattener a wider threaded opening than the M42 T-thread. This component ensures your camera or filter wheel has a solid, threaded attachment directly to the FFEDAPO flattener's corrected field.

What is the primary purpose of the M48x1 Adapter for FFEDAPO?
The primary purpose of this adapter is to allow you to connect imaging accessories with a female M48x1 thread (such as filter wheels, off-axis guiders and camera adapters) directly to the Explore Scientific FFEDAPO 2-inch Field Flattener.
Which Explore Scientific product is the M48x1 Adapter designed for?
This adapter is specifically designed for the Explore Scientific FFEDAPO 2-inch Field Flattener. It serves as an alternate, larger-aperture connection option for that specific flattener.
Why would I use the M48x1 Adapter for FFEDAPO instead of a standard M42 T-adapter?
The M48 thread has a larger clear aperture than the M42 T-thread. It restricts the light path less, but Explore Scientific does not state which sensor sizes the FFEDAPO flattener covers, so check with the supplier before planning for a large sensor.
Does the M48x1 Adapter for FFEDAPO affect the flattener's back focus distance?
Yes, like any adapter, it has a specific optical thickness that contributes to the total back focus of your imaging train. You must account for the thickness of this adapter when calculating the spacing needed to achieve the FFEDAPO flattener's required back focus for a flat field.
How do I install the M48x1 Adapter on my FFEDAPO flattener?
Thread the M48x1 Adapter onto the camera side of the FFEDAPO Field Flattener, in place of the M42x0.75 adapter if you use one, providing the new, larger connection point for your imaging train.
