PAN-Adjuster Adapter to mount onto PlaneWave L-350
This PAN-Adjuster Adapter is the specific mechanical interface required to mount a Baader PAN-Adjuster onto the side port of a PlaneWave L-350 mount. It enables professional-grade dual-instrument setups, allowing you to operate a secondary telescope, such as a RASA or a fast Newtonian, perfectly parallel to your primary optics.
Enabling Parallel Co-Alignment on the PlaneWave L-350
The primary function of this adapter is to unlock the capability for precise, simultaneous dual-rig imaging on the L-350 platform. By providing a secure attachment point for a PAN-Adjuster (sold separately), it allows you to make fine adjustments to the pointing of a secondary instrument until it is perfectly co-aligned with the main telescope. This is critical for applications like simultaneous wide-field and narrow-field imaging of the same celestial target or for using a high-quality, large-aperture guidescope without flexure.

What is the purpose of this PAN-Adjuster Adapter for the L-350?
This adapter is designed exclusively to connect a Baader PAN-Adjuster to the side port of a PlaneWave L-350 mount. Its purpose is to facilitate the mounting of a second telescope, enabling it to be precisely aligned parallel to the main instrument for dual-imaging or advanced guiding.
Which mounts is this PAN-Adjuster Adapter compatible with?
This adapter is specifically engineered for the PlaneWave L-350 mount. It is not a universal part and is intended only for this model.
What kind of secondary instruments can I mount on my L-350 with this adapter?
When combined with a PAN-Adjuster, this adapter allows you to mount a variety of secondary instruments. It is ideal for wide-field systems like a Celestron RASA or a fast Newtonian telescope, which you can then use to capture a broad view of a target while your main scope images fine details.
Does this adapter include the Baader PAN-Adjuster itself?
No. This product is only the adapter plate required to fit a PAN-Adjuster to the L-350 mount. The PAN-Adjuster must be purchased separately.
Where on the PlaneWave L-350 mount does this adapter attach?
The adapter is designed to be attached directly to the side port of the PlaneWave L-350 mount, providing a stable and secure platform for your secondary optics.
How would this L-350 adapter help when imaging a target like the Orion Nebula (M42)?
This setup is perfect for a target like M42. You could use your primary telescope on the L-350 to capture a high-resolution image of the Trapezium cluster at the nebula's core, while simultaneously using a co-aligned RASA on the side port to capture the vast, faint outer loops of gas and dust in a single wide-field frame.
