  • Baader 1" C-Mount Adapter w/ 1.25" Nosepiece - 18mm Long

    The Baader 1" C-Mount Adapter provides a secure, 18mm long connection between C-Mount cameras and standard 1.25" focusers or accessories. It features internal threads for standard 1.25" eyepiece filters and includes a retainer ring to mount unmounted filters between 27.5mm and 28mm in diameter.

    A Precise 18mm C-Mount to 1.25" Connection

    This adapter bridges the gap between the common C-Mount thread found on many guide, planetary, and video astronomy cameras and the universal 1.25" format. Its fixed 18mm length provides a rigid, non-flexing extension, a critical factor when calculating the back focus for your imaging train. This specific length is often required to bring guide cameras to focus in off-axis guiders or to achieve the correct spacing for other accessories.

    Integrated 1.25" and 28mm Filter Compatibility

    A key feature of this Baader adapter is its built-in support for filters. The 1.25" nosepiece is threaded to accept standard mounted M28.5 filters, allowing you to easily add a UV/IR cut, narrowband, or color filter to your imaging setup. For more advanced applications, an included retainer ring allows for the secure installation of an unmounted filter with a diameter from 27.5mm to 28mm, saving precious back focus and reducing the optical length.

  • What is the primary use for the Baader 1" C-Mount Adapter?

    The Baader 1" C-Mount Adapter is designed to connect a camera with female C-Mount threads (a common standard for guide and planetary cameras) to a telescope's 1.25" focuser, an off-axis guider, or any other accessory that accepts a 1.25" nosepiece. It also adds a fixed 18mm of length to the optical path.

    Can I use the Baader 18mm C-Mount adapter with a ZWO ASI120MM Mini guide camera?

    Yes. The ZWO ASI120MM Mini and many similar guide cameras use a C-Mount thread. This adapter will allow you to insert the camera into a standard 1.25" guide port or focuser. The 18mm length is often helpful for achieving focus in various off-axis guider models.

    How do I install a filter with this Baader adapter?

    You have two options. For a standard 1.25" mounted filter, you simply screw it into the internal threads on the end of the 1.25" nosepiece. To use an unmounted filter (27.5mm - 28mm diameter), you place the filter inside the adapter and secure it with the included retainer ring.

    Why would I use an unmounted filter with the Baader C-Mount Adapter?

    Using an unmounted filter with the included retainer ring can save a few millimeters of back focus compared to threading a mounted filter onto the end. This can be critical in imaging trains with very tight spacing requirements. It's a specialized feature for optimizing your optical configuration.

    Will this Baader adapter work in a 2" focuser?

    Yes, but you will need a 2" to 1.25" adapter. This Baader adapter has a 1.25" nosepiece, so it will not fit directly into a 2" focuser. You must use the appropriate step-down adapter, which typically comes standard with most 2" focusers.

    I need to add exactly 18mm of spacing for my C-Mount guider. Is this Baader adapter suitable?

    Yes, this is precisely what this adapter is for. The Baader 1" C-Mount Adapter w/ 1.25" Nosepiece provides a fixed, non-adjustable optical length of 18mm. It serves as both an adapter and a precision spacer.
