You first thread your camera or accessory fully onto the adapter. Then, you can loosen the stop ring, rotate your camera to the desired angle for perfect framing, and then tighten the stop ring to lock it in that position. This prevents the camera from rotating or unthreading during an imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhat is the optical thickness of this ESATTO 2\" LP adapter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter is designed to have a minimal optical thickness to conserve backfocus. With the stop ring in place, it adds a very small amount of length to the optical path. If you remove the stop ring, the optical thickness becomes zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWill this adapter let me connect my ZWO camera to the ESATTO 2\" LP on my Celestron EdgeHD 8\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. If your ZWO camera has a standard M48 female thread for connection, this adapter is precisely what you need.

After attaching your camera to the ESATTO 2\" LP via this adapter, you can rotate the camera body 360° until the long axis of your sensor aligns perfectly with the composition you want for the Horsehead and Flame Nebula region. Once framed, you lock the stop ring, and your composition is secure for the entire imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eIs this adapter required to use a camera with the ESATTO 2\" LP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on your camera's connection thread. The ESATTO 2\" LP focuser has an M60 male thread on the draw tube. If your camera or accessory has a matching M60 female thread, you don't need an adapter. However, since M48 is a far more common standard for imaging equipment, this adapter is a necessary component for most setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"DAV-specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser Side Thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM60 (Male)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccessory Side Thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM48 (Female)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Focuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimaLuceLab ESATTO 2” LP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotational Stop Ring for Framing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"DAV-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"DAV-grid-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"DAV-item-title\"\u003eAdapter from M60 to M48 with stop ring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"DAV-item-subtitle\"\u003e× 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/davidastro.com\/pages\/primalucelab-warranty-policy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePrimaLuceLab 1-Year Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PrimaLuceLab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52913373839645,"sku":"PLL-PL3600545","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/PrimaLuceLab-Adapter-from-M60-to-M48-with-stop-ring-for-ESATTO-2-LP-1_397766ad-67c0-45fb-9568-9f285ff76e88.jpg?v=1789090034","url":"https:\/\/davidastro.com\/en-us\/products\/primalucelab-pl3600545","provider":"David Astro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
