  • Adapter D60 (Pentax) to 2" Nosepiece

    This Baader Planetarium Adapter D60 (Pentax) to 2" Nosepiece solves a common compatibility challenge for owners of Pentax telescopes and focusers. It provides a simple, secure mechanical interface to convert the proprietary Pentax D60 female thread into a standard 2" male nosepiece, instantly unlocking compatibility with the vast ecosystem of 2" astronomy accessories.

    Bridge Pentax D60 Threads to the Universal 2" Accessory Standard

    If you own a Pentax refractor, you can now easily integrate 2" diagonals, eyepieces from any manufacturer, or 2" camera nosepieces into your optical train. This adapter threads directly into the female D60 port on your focuser, presenting a standard 2" barrel that slides into any 2" receiver. The rigid, threaded connection minimizes the potential for flexure or tilt that can be introduced by less secure adapters, preserving the optical precision of your system.

  • What is the purpose of the Baader D60 (Pentax) to 2" Adapter?

    This adapter allows you to connect standard 2" accessories (like diagonals, eyepieces, or cameras with a 2" nosepiece) to a telescope focuser or accessory that uses the Pentax D60 female thread standard. It effectively bridges the proprietary Pentax system to the universal 2" format.

    Can I use my 2" Tele Vue diagonal on a Pentax 75 SDHF refractor with this adapter?

    Yes. The Pentax 75 SDHF focuser often terminates in a D60 thread. By attaching this adapter, you convert that thread into a 2" nosepiece. You can then insert the adapter into your 2" Tele Vue diagonal's eyepiece holder, allowing you to use the diagonal with your telescope.

    How do I attach my ZWO camera with a 2" nosepiece to my Pentax focuser?

    First, thread the Baader D60 adapter into the female D60 port on your Pentax focuser. The adapter now provides a 2" eyepiece barrel. You can then slide your camera's 2" nosepiece into the focuser's 2" clamp, just as you would with any standard 2" focuser.

    Will this D60 adapter introduce any optical issues?

    This is a purely mechanical adapter and contains no optical elements. It is machined to maintain alignment. However, like any adapter, it adds physical length to the optical path, which you must account for when measuring for back focus, especially in imaging setups.

    Is the "D60" thread the same as an M60 thread?

    The D60 designation refers to the specific 60mm thread used by Pentax. While it is a 60mm thread, it's crucial to ensure it matches the specific thread pitch on your equipment. This adapter is designed specifically for the Pentax D60 standard.

    Why use this adapter instead of a different solution?

    The primary benefit is creating a secure, threaded connection directly to the focuser. This is more rigid and less prone to tilt than solutions that might involve multiple stacked, slip-fit adapters. It provides a solid foundation for your 2" accessories.
