  • Starizona Variable M42 (T2) T-Threaded Adapter Kit

    The Starizona Variable M42 (T2) T-Threaded Adapter Kit provides a complete back focus solution, containing three distinct variable-length adapters to dial in the perfect spacing for your imaging train. This kit covers a continuous adjustment range from 15mm to 40mm using the included 15-20mm, 20-30mm, and 30-40mm units, eliminating the need for a large collection of fixed spacers.

    A Complete 15mm to 40mm M42 Spacing Solution

    Achieving the precise back focus specified by a field flattener, reducer, or coma corrector is critical for sharp, round stars across your entire image frame. This kit from Starizona simplifies that process by giving you three adapters that cover a wide range of common spacing requirements.

    Instead of stacking multiple fixed T-spacers and hoping to land on the correct distance, you can use one of these variable adapters to make fine adjustments. With the 15-20mm, 20-30mm, and 30-40mm adapters included, you have a versatile M42 (T2) spacing solution ready for nearly any imaging configuration.

  • What is the primary use for the Starizona Variable M42 Adapter Kit?

    This kit is designed to precisely set the back focus distance between an optical corrector (like a flattener or reducer) and your camera sensor. The three included adapters cover a continuous range from 15mm to 40mm, allowing you to achieve the exact spacing your optics require for optimal performance.

    What spacing ranges are covered by the adapters in the Starizona M42 Kit?

    The kit includes three separate variable adapters to cover a wide range of spacing needs:

    • Adapter 1: 15mm to 20mm
    • Adapter 2: 20mm to 30mm
    • Adapter 3: 30mm to 40mm

    What kind of threads does the Starizona Variable Adapter Kit use?

    The adapters use the standard M42 T-thread, often referred to as a T2 thread. This is the most common thread type used for connecting astronomy cameras, filter wheels, and optical correctors, ensuring broad compatibility with most imaging equipment.
