How do I use the SVBONY M42x0.75 Extension Tube Kit to get a specific distance?
You can combine the different tubes to achieve your desired length. For example, if you need 25mm of spacing, you would thread the 5mm and 20mm tubes together. The kit allows you to create any length in 5mm increments up to the 50mm maximum.
What is the maximum extension I can achieve with the SVBONY M42 kit?
The maximum extension is 50mm, achieved by connecting all four tubes (5mm + 10mm + 15mm + 20mm) together.
Will these SVBONY extension tubes work with my astronomy camera and accessories?
Yes, if your equipment uses the standard M42x0.75mm T2 thread. This is the most common thread size for astronomy cameras, filter wheels, off-axis guiders, and many field flatteners and reducers.
My flattener needs 18mm of back focus. Can I achieve this with the SVBONY M42 kit?
This kit can provide 15mm or 20mm of spacing, but not exactly 18mm. For such precise, non-5mm increments, you would typically use the 15mm tube from this kit and add a separate, smaller 3mm spacer or a fine-tuning variable ring to achieve the exact distance.
I'm connecting my telescope to a DSLR with an M42 T-ring. Can this SVBONY kit adjust the spacing?
Absolutely. The M42 T-ring for your DSLR has female M42x0.75mm threads. You can place any combination of these extension tubes between your telescope's flattener/reducer and the T-ring to set the correct distance to the DSLR's sensor.
Are the threads on the SVBONY M42 extension tubes the same as T2 threads?
Yes. The designation M42x0.75mm refers to a metric thread with a 42mm diameter and a 0.75mm thread pitch. This is the specification for the universal "T2" thread used in astrophotography.
