  • Adapter 3.3"i to M68i – for Celestron / Astro Physics

    This Baader Planetarium adapter directly converts the large 3.3" rear cell thread on Celestron EdgeHD 9.25", 11", and 14" telescopes to the versatile Baader M68i system. It also establishes a secure M68i connection for standard Schmidt-Cassegrain 11" and 14" models, as well as select Astro-Physics refractors that utilize the 3.3" thread standard.

    Secure M68 System Integration for Celestron/A-P 3.3" Threads

    For imagers using large-format sensors, the native 3.3" thread on Celestron's larger SCTs offers the widest possible clear aperture. This adapter allows you to leverage that full aperture by connecting directly to the Baader M68 system, which is designed to provide an unvignetted, flexure-free optical path for heavy components like off-axis guiders, filter wheels, and large cameras. By replacing a standard 2" visual back, you create a fully threaded, rigid imaging train from the telescope's rear cell outwards, eliminating a common source of tilt and instability.

  • What is the primary purpose of the Adapter 3.3"i to M68i?

    This adapter's sole function is to create a robust, large-diameter threaded connection between a telescope with a 3.3" rear thread (like large Celestron SCTs) and the Baader M68i system of accessories. This is essential for building a stable imaging train that avoids the vignetting and flexure possible with smaller 2" connections.

    Will this adapter work on my Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope?

    No. The Celestron EdgeHD 8" uses a smaller 2" SCT thread on its rear cell. This adapter is specifically designed for the larger 3.3" thread found on the EdgeHD 9.25", 11", and 14" models, as well as the standard SC 11" and 14" telescopes.

    I have a Celestron 11" SCT and want to use a Baader M68 Off-Axis Guider. Is this the part I need?

    Yes, this is the correct starting point. The Adapter 3.3"i to M68i attaches directly to your telescope's 3.3" rear cell thread, providing the necessary female M68i thread to begin building your M68 imaging train with components like the Baader M68 Off-Axis Guider.

    Is this adapter the same as a standard 2" visual back?

    No, it is a significant upgrade. A standard visual back typically uses thumbscrews to hold 2" accessories, which can introduce tilt. This adapter provides a much larger clear aperture and a fully threaded M68 connection, ensuring perfect alignment and rigidity for heavy, demanding imaging setups.

    Which Astro-Physics telescopes are compatible with this adapter?

    This adapter is specified for Astro-Physics telescopes that feature a 3.3" rear thread. You must confirm the thread specification on your specific Astro-Physics focuser or telescope model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

    Does the 3.3"i to M68i adapter add significant back focus length?

    Like any mechanical component, this adapter has a physical thickness that contributes to the total optical path length. It is designed to integrate seamlessly within the Baader M68 system, but you must account for its path length when calculating your final back focus spacing for correctors or reducers.
