Baader UFC Telescope Side Adapter - S70/RASA 36
The Baader UFC Telescope Side Adapter for the RASA 36 provides the critical mechanical link between your Celestron Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph and the modular Universal Filter Changer system. This component is engineered specifically to create a secure, rigid connection, ensuring your imaging train remains free of flexure when using the UFC Base with various filter sliders. It allows you to integrate flexible filter changes into one of the world's premier wide-field imaging platforms.
Dedicated UFC Connection for the RASA 36
This adapter is not a universal part; it is purpose-built for the Celestron RASA 36. It mounts directly to the telescope's front cell, presenting a solid foundation for attaching the Baader UFC Base. By matching the RASA's specific mounting pattern, it eliminates any potential for instability that could compromise the astrograph's demanding optical alignment and critical focus.
Secure S70 Dovetail Attachment
On the camera side, this adapter features Baader's S70 dovetail receptor. This large-format, swallowtail connection is the standard for the UFC system, designed to handle the weight and leverage of the UFC Base and a fully loaded imaging camera. The dovetail ensures a repeatable, centered, and rigid attachment that prevents any tilt or sag in the optical train.
