Baader Hyperion DT-Ring - M62/M67
- Adapts M62 Female Threads to M67 Male Threads
- Enables Afocal Photography with Hyperion Eyepieces
- Connects Camera Lenses or Filters with M67 Threads
- Component of the Baader Hyperion Digital T-System
The Baader Hyperion DT-Ring M62/M67 is a specialized adapter that converts an M62 female thread into an M67 male thread, creating a critical link for afocal eyepiece projection. This ring allows you to securely attach accessories with a standard M67 filter thread, such as camera lenses, directly to your Baader Hyperion eyepiece imaging setup.
This adapter is a core component within the modular Baader Hyperion eyepiece system, designed specifically for afocal photography. It threads directly onto the Baader Hyperion Digital T-Adapter (HDT54/62), which in turn connects to the M54 thread on the eyepiece itself.
By stepping up the M62 thread to the common M67 photographic standard, this ring enables you to use a high-quality camera lens as a projection optic. This technique gives you precise control over magnification and helps achieve a flat, well-corrected field when imaging the Moon, planets, or other bright targets through the eyepiece.
The primary function of this Baader DT-Ring is to adapt an M62 female thread to an M67 male thread. This is specifically used in afocal photography setups to connect a camera lens or other M67-threaded accessory to a Baader Hyperion eyepiece via the HDT54/62 adapter.
Yes. This ring is designed to be used with the Baader Hyperion Digital T-Adapter (HDT54/62). The HDT54/62 first connects to the eyepiece's native M54 thread and provides the M62 thread that this DT-Ring then attaches to.
For imaging the Moon, you would assemble the system as follows:
The M67 male thread is a standard size for the filter threads on many photographic lenses, particularly prime and zoom lenses. You can attach any camera lens, filter, or other accessory that has a corresponding M67x0.75 female thread.
While designed for the Baader Hyperion system, this ring can technically be used in any application where you need to adapt an M62 female thread to an M67 male thread. However, its primary design and utility are matched to the back-focus and threading of the Baader afocal imaging accessories.
Reverse-mounting a high-quality camera lens allows it to act as an excellent projection system for afocal imaging. Camera lenses are highly corrected for flat fields and color, and using one in this configuration can produce sharper and more evenly illuminated images on your camera sensor than some dedicated projection adapters, especially when imaging bright targets like Jupiter or Saturn.
