  • Daystar Rear Red Side - From SCT Thread to 2" Female Drawtube

    The Daystar RF2D2 Rear Red Side adapter goes from SCT thread to a 2-inch female drawtube, giving the eyepiece side of a Daystar Quantum filter a 2-inch receptacle for a diagonal or eyepiece.

    Securely Adapt SCT Threads for 2-Inch Accessories

    It is the Rear, Red Side drawtube snout for the Q3RFCTM or Q3RFC1M Rear Plate of a Daystar Quantum, converting the plate's male 2" x 24 thread into a 2-inch female receptacle for a diagonal or eyepiece.

    • Daystar System Component: As part of Daystar's color-coded system, the "Red Side" designation helps identify its role within a larger assembly of solar filtering equipment.

  • What is the Daystar RF2D2 Rear Red Side adapter used for?

    The Daystar RF2D2 is the Rear, Red Side drawtube snout for a Daystar Quantum: it fits the Q3RFCTM or Q3RFC1M Rear Plate and gives the eyepiece side of the filter a 2-inch female drawtube for a 2-inch diagonal, eyepiece or camera nosepiece.

    Can I use 2-inch eyepieces with the Daystar RF2D2 adapter?

    Yes, that is its primary purpose. To use 2-inch eyepieces, you will first insert a 2-inch star diagonal into the RF2D2 adapter, and then place your 2-inch eyepiece into the diagonal. This combination is required for comfortable, wide-field viewing.

    Does the Daystar RF2D2 adapter use compression rings to hold accessories?

    This component is a simple female drawtube, which typically uses one or more thumbscrews to secure accessories directly. It does not include a non-marring brass compression ring. For that feature, you would need to look for a "visual back" style adapter instead of a basic drawtube.

    What does "Rear Red Side" mean on this Daystar adapter?

    Daystar filters mount Gold side towards the Sun and Red side towards the eye. "Rear, Red Side" means this snout goes on the eyepiece side of the filter, on the Q3RFCTM or Q3RFC1M Rear Plate.
