What is the primary purpose of the Baader UFC M72 Camera Side Adapter?
Its main purpose is to connect the Baader UFC-BASE filter changer to a camera, off-axis guider, or other imaging accessory that has a female M72 thread. It serves as the "output" connection on the camera side of the filter system.
How does the UFC M72 Adapter attach to the filter changer base?
The adapter attaches directly to the UFC-BASE (Baader #2459110) using an integrated mounting plate. This ensures a solid, secure connection that prevents flexure or tilt within your imaging train.
Is this the correct UFC adapter for my telescope's focuser?
No, this is a camera-side adapter. It defines the connection between the filter changer and your camera. You will need a separate telescope-side UFC adapter to connect the UFC-BASE to your telescope's focuser drawtube.
I have a large format camera with an M72 thread. Is the Baader UFC M72 Adapter what I need?
Yes, this is the correct camera-side adapter for your setup. A complete optical train would be assembled as follows: [Telescope] → [Telescope-Side UFC Adapter] → [UFC-BASE with Filter] → [this M72 Camera-Side Adapter] → [Your Camera].
Will this Baader UFC M72 adapter work with non-Baader M72 accessories?
Yes. As long as the accessory has a standard M72 female thread, this adapter will provide the correct mechanical connection. M72 is a common thread standard used on many large correctors, flatteners, and camera ports from various manufacturers.
Does the Baader UFC M72 adapter add significant length to the optical path?
All adapters add some optical length. Baader gives this part an optical height of 2mm, so include 2mm when you calculate your total backfocus distance.
