  • C-mount adapter for the Alpy 600

    This C-mount adapter for the Alpy 600 spectroscope allows you to set a precise camera backfocus between 9.5mm and 20mm. It replaces the native T-mount, opening up compatibility for C-mount cameras commonly used in spectroscopy that require a backfocus within this 9.5mm to 20mm range.

    C-Mount Compatibility and a 9.5mm to 20mm Backfocus Range

    The Shelyak Alpy 600 spectroscope is supplied with a standard T-mount for attaching a science camera. This adapter allows you to convert that interface to the C-mount standard, which is widely used by many compact, high-speed CMOS cameras ideal for spectroscopy.

    The key feature is the adjustable backfocus, which can be set anywhere between 9.5mm and 20mm. This range gives you the flexibility to achieve a sharp focus with various camera models that have different sensor flange depths.

  • Why do I need this C-mount adapter for my Alpy 600?

    The Alpy 600 ships with a T-mount. This adapter is necessary if your science or guiding camera uses the C-mount standard, which is common for many high-frame-rate CMOS cameras. It physically converts the mount to ensure a secure, threaded connection.

    What does the 9.5mm to 20mm backfocus range on the Alpy 600 C-mount adapter mean?

    This is the range of distances you can set between the adapter's mounting flange and your camera's sensor to achieve a sharp focus on the spectroscope's slit. You will need to adjust within this range to match your specific camera's flange focal distance to get a sharp spectrum.

    I have a guide camera with a 12.5mm backfocus. Can I use it with the Alpy 600 and this adapter?

    Yes. Since that camera's 12.5mm backfocus falls comfortably within the adapter's 9.5mm to 20mm adjustment range, you will be able to achieve proper focus. This makes it compatible with many popular C-mount cameras.

    Will this adapter work for attaching my DSLR to the Alpy 600?

    No. DSLR cameras typically use T-mounts (via a T-ring) and have a much longer backfocus requirement (around 55mm), which is far outside this adapter's 9.5mm to 20mm range. The Alpy 600's standard T-mount is the correct interface for a DSLR.

    Is a C-mount connection as secure as a T-mount for the Alpy 600?

    Yes, for the cameras it's designed for. C-mount cameras are typically small and lightweight. The threaded C-mount connection provides a secure, non-flexing attachment essential for stable and repeatable spectroscopic work.

    How do I set the correct backfocus with this Alpy 600 adapter?

    You will typically start by referencing your camera's documentation for its flange-to-sensor distance. Set the adapter within its 9.5mm to 20mm range to match that distance, then perform fine focusing adjustments on the telescope to get a sharp spectrum.
