  • Baader UFC AUX Filter-Holder - D 36mm (requires UFC-RD50)

    The Baader UFC AUX Filter-Holder is designed as a spare or additional holder for a single 36mm unmounted filter within Baader's Universal Filter Changer (UFC) system. This holder requires the corresponding Baader UFC-RD50 filter slider to function, allowing you to prepare multiple filters for quick exchanges during an imaging session.

    Prepare Your 36mm Filters with an Extra UFC-RD50 Holder

    The primary function of the UFC AUX Filter-Holder is to streamline your imaging workflow. By purchasing multiple holders, you can pre-load each of your 36mm LRGB or narrowband filters, keeping them safe and ready for immediate use. This eliminates the need to handle filters or small mounting screws in the dark, reducing the risk of drops or contamination.

    • Field Swapping: Simply slide one holder out of the UFC-RD50 slider and insert the next. This makes it fast and efficient to cycle through different filters for multi-channel imaging projects.
    • Secure Mounting: Provides a dedicated, secure housing for your unmounted 36mm filters, protecting them from damage when not in the optical path.
    • System Modularity: As a component of the Baader UFC ecosystem, this holder ensures perfect compatibility and spacing when used with the required UFC-RD50 slider.

  • What is the Baader UFC AUX D 36mm Filter-Holder used for?

    This is a spare or additional holder for a single 36mm unmounted filter. It is designed to be used with the Baader UFC-RD50 Filter Slider (#2459113). Its purpose is to allow you to have multiple filters pre-mounted and ready for quick swaps in the field.

    Does this Baader UFC AUX D 36mm holder come with the UFC-RD50 slider?

    No. This product is only the auxiliary filter holder itself. You must purchase the Baader UFC-RD50 Filter Slider separately to use it within the UFC system.

    How many 36mm filters can I mount in one Baader UFC AUX holder?

    Each Baader UFC AUX D 36mm holder is designed to hold exactly one 36mm unmounted filter. To use multiple filters, you will need to purchase one holder for each filter you wish to have ready.

    Can I use the Baader UFC D 36mm holder to image the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) with different narrowband filters?

    Yes, this is an ideal use case. You can purchase several of these holders to mount your H-alpha, S-II, and O-III 36mm filters. This allows you to quickly swap between them using the UFC-RD50 slider, minimizing downtime while capturing data for a color composite image.

    Will this Baader UFC AUX holder work with my 8" f/4 Newtonian and the UFC system?

    Yes, as long as you have the complete Baader UFC system configured for your telescope's backfocus, this holder will work. Its function is dependent on the UFC-RD50 slider, not the telescope type. The UFC system itself is designed to be adaptable to nearly any telescope, including f/4 Newtonians.

    Why would I buy this Baader UFC AUX holder instead of just using the one that came with my slider?

    The key benefit is efficiency. Owning multiple holders allows you to create a library of pre-mounted filters. Instead of stopping your imaging session to unscrew and swap a filter in the dark, you can simply pull out the entire slider/holder assembly and insert the next one in seconds.
