Pegasus Astro Prodigy Microfocuser Telescope Adapter M68 Female
- Connects M68 Threaded Accessories to Prodigy Microfocuser
- M68 x 1 Female Thread
- Secure, Direct-Fit Camera-Side Adapter
- Designed for Pegasus Astro Prodigy Microfocuser
This camera-side adapter provides a solid, secure M68 x 1 female threaded connection point for the Pegasus Astro Prodigy Microfocuser. It enables direct integration of cameras, off-axis guiders, and other imaging accessories that utilize the M68 standard. This component ensures your imaging train remains rigidly attached to the focuser for precise, repeatable results.
The Prodigy Microfocuser Telescope Adapter M68 Female is engineered for a single purpose: to provide a robust M68 female connection on the camera side of your Prodigy Microfocuser. This allows you to assemble a threaded imaging train, eliminating the potential for flexure or tilt that can occur with compression fittings. By threading your components together, you create a solid optical axis from the focuser to your camera sensor.
This adapter is designed to connect imaging equipment with a male M68 x 1 thread directly to the Pegasus Astro Prodigy Microfocuser. It is the camera-side adapter, ensuring a secure, threaded link between your focuser and the rest of your imaging train, such as an off-axis guider or a full-frame camera.
The adapter threads directly onto the drawtube of the Prodigy Microfocuser. You simply unthread the existing adapter on the camera side and screw the M68 Female Adapter on in its place until it is snug. No tools are required.
No, this adapter is specifically designed to match the threading and mechanical interface of the Pegasus Astro Prodigy Microfocuser. It is not compatible with focusers from other manufacturers.
An astrophotography setup using a full-frame camera, like a ZWO ASI6200MM Pro, paired with a large filter wheel and off-axis guider often uses M68 threads to maintain a wide, unvignetted light path. This adapter allows you to connect such an imaging train securely to your Prodigy Microfocuser.
This adapter is designed to be as low-profile as possible while providing a secure M68 connection. The exact backfocus consumption should be minimal, but you should always measure your imaging train to ensure you can reach focus with your specific telescope, such as a fast Newtonian or Ritchey-Chrétien.
No, this is a camera-side adapter. It is used to connect your imaging equipment (camera, filter wheel, etc.) to the focuser. To connect the focuser to your telescope, you would need a separate telescope-side adapter.
