  • IMP85 Adapter S120a to M100a

    This IMP85 Adapter provides the essential mechanical link between the S120a interface of the IMP85 Instrument Selector and telescopes equipped with an M100a male thread, such as those from Alluna Optics. It enables the seamless integration of the IMP85's multi-port capabilities, allowing you to create a permanently configured, remotely switchable instrument cluster on your primary telescope.

    The Critical Link for the IMP85 Instrument Selector

    The IMP85 system is designed around a central, un-mirrored light path (Port 1) for a primary imaging camera, ensuring no light is lost for your main instrument. This adapter allows you to rigidly attach the entire selector unit to telescope focusers or systems terminating in the M100a thread, providing the mechanical foundation for your multi-instrument setup.

    Unlocking Multi-Instrument Automation for Remote Observatories

    For remote observatories, this adapter is a key component for eliminating manual reconfiguration. By connecting the IMP85, you can permanently mount a deep-sky astro camera, a planetary camera, and a spectrograph. You can switch between instruments electronically, removing the need for on-site staff to change hardware and maximizing observing time.

    Streamlining Public Outreach and Private Imaging Sessions

    Observatories that host public viewing events can leverage this adapter to connect the IMP85, leaving a primary imaging camera on the main port while using a side port for a visual eyepiece. After guests leave, the system can be switched back to imaging mode instantly, with no time lost to rebalancing or reconfiguring the telescope for astrophotography.

  • What is the primary function of the IMP85 Adapter S120a to M100a?

    This adapter's sole purpose is to provide a secure mechanical connection between the IMP85 Instrument Selector's S120a port and a telescope or focuser that has an M100a male thread. It enables the installation of the IMP85 system on compatible telescopes.

    Which telescopes are compatible with the IMP85 S120a to M100a adapter?

    This adapter is specifically designed for any telescope system that terminates with an M100a male thread. It is commonly used to integrate the IMP85 with telescopes from manufacturers like Alluna Optics.

    How does this IMP85 adapter help my remote Alluna Optics observatory?

    By using this adapter to mount an IMP85 Instrument Selector on your Alluna telescope, you can automate your imaging workflow. You can switch between different instruments—like a primary deep-sky camera, a guide camera, and a spectrograph—without any physical intervention, which is critical for unattended remote operation.

    If my observatory hosts public viewing nights, how does the IMP85 system, connected with this adapter, improve workflow?

    This setup allows you to keep a professional imaging camera attached to the main, straight-through port of the IMP85 while redirecting the light path to an eyepiece on a side port for guests. When the event is over, you can electronically switch back to the main camera and begin an imaging session immediately, eliminating cleanup and rebuild time.

    Does the IMP85 Adapter S120a to M100a cause any light loss?

    No, the adapter itself is a purely mechanical component and does not contain any optics. When used with the IMP85's primary straight-through port (Port 1), there is no mirror in the light path, ensuring that your main camera receives the full, unobstructed light cone from the telescope.

    Is this IMP85 adapter all I need to connect my camera to the telescope?

    No. This adapter connects the IMP85 Instrument Selector unit to the telescope. You will need the IMP85 unit itself, plus additional camera-side adapters to connect your specific cameras, eyepieces, or spectrographs to the three ports on the IMP85.
