  • Baader UFC Camera Side Adapter - FLI ML & PL

    The Baader UFC Camera Side Adapter creates a secure, direct-threaded connection between your Finger Lakes Instrumentation (FLI) ML or PL series camera and the Baader Universal Filter Changer (UFC) base. This adapter is the essential component for integrating Baader's flexible filter system into your high-end FLI imaging train, ensuring rigid, tilt-free alignment for critical imaging applications.

    Integrate Your FLI Camera with the Baader UFC System

    This adapter allows you to place the versatile Baader UFC filter changer directly in front of your FLI camera's sensor. By creating a solid mechanical link, it eliminates the potential for flexure or tilt that can occur with less robust connection methods, which is critical for maintaining a flat field with large-format sensors.

    Precision-Fit for FLI ML and PL Camera Flanges

    Engineered specifically for the bolt patterns of Finger Lakes Instrumentation's ML (MicroLine) and PL (ProLine) camera flanges, this adapter guarantees a perfect fit. It attaches directly to the camera body and includes the necessary mounting plate to interface seamlessly with the UFC Base (S70), forming the camera-side foundation of your UFC filter setup.

  • What is the purpose of the Baader UFC FLI ML & PL Adapter?

    This adapter's sole function is to mechanically connect a Finger Lakes Instrumentation (FLI) camera with either an ML or PL flange to the Baader Universal Filter Changer (UFC) system. It allows you to use Baader's filter sliders and holders with your FLI camera.

    Which cameras are compatible with this Baader UFC adapter?

    This adapter is specifically designed for Finger Lakes Instrumentation (FLI) cameras that use the MicroLine (ML) or ProLine (PL) mounting flange. It is not compatible with other camera brands or other FLI flange types.

    Does this Baader adapter connect to the telescope side or the camera side of the UFC Base?

    This is a camera-side adapter. It attaches to your FLI camera body and then connects to the back (camera side) of the main UFC Base unit, completing the imaging train.

    I'm using an FLI ProLine (PL) camera on my Ritchey-Chrétien telescope. How does this Baader adapter help me add filters?

    This adapter provides the critical link needed to insert the Baader UFC system between your telescope's focuser and your FLI ProLine camera. Once installed, you can use UFC filter sliders for LRGB, narrowband, or photometric filters without introducing flexure into the rigid optical train demanded by an RC telescope.

    If I'm imaging the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) with my FLI MicroLine (ML) camera, why is the rigid connection from this Baader UFC adapter important?

    Imaging faint targets like the Horsehead Nebula requires long exposures where any amount of tilt or flexure can distort star shapes, especially at the corners of the frame. This adapter creates a solid, threaded metal-on-metal connection, ensuring your camera and filters remain perfectly parallel to the focal plane throughout the exposure, preserving image quality.

    What other parts of the Baader UFC system do I need with this adapter?

    At a minimum, you will need the Baader UFC Base, a UFC Filter Slider, and a telescope-side adapter to match your focuser or corrector threads. This FLI adapter only provides the camera-side connection.
