Description

Designed to be used with: Dedicated CCD Field Flatteners (175FF, 160FF and 13035FF) and Telecompressor Correctors (175TCC, 160TCC, 155TCC and QuadTCC).

No sooner than we had finished production of the first ADATCC1 adapters, SBIG came out with a new 8-position filter wheel for the STL series cameras. This filter wheel, the SBIG FW8-STL, was not only bigger around, it was thicker, so we went back to the drawing board and designed a shorter version so that the critical spacing between optics and CCD chip could be maintained. This version, the ADATCC3 has the same robust machined construction and rich, black anodizing of the ADATCC1. Use this adapter ONLY if you have an STL camera with the 8-position filter wheel.

This adapter has a net spacing distance of 1.36" (34.5 mm).

Note: This adapter is similar to adapters being made for use with all of our other 2.7" and 4" Prime focus Field Flatteners and to use with the 2.7" to 6x7 Outer Bayonet Adapter (ADA2767). These adapters are NOT interchangeable.

What's Included:
Adapter for SBIG STL Series Camera with Eight-Position Filter Wheel Adapter for CCD Field Flatteners and Telecompressor Correctors
Four 6-32x1/2" socket head cap screws for attachment to the STL series camera

Steven ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about compatibility with my corrector, but the threads engaged smoothly with no wobble. It’s solidly built for the price and helped my images look noticeably sharper around the edges.

Zoe ★★★★★

This adapter fit perfectly between my 160FF and the camera, no wobble at all. I was relieved the threads engaged smoothly right out of the box.

Eli ★★★★★

Fit my 175FF perfectly and the threading is precise—no wobble or tilt when I attached the flattener to my camera. Felt solid right out of the box, and the connection is snug enough that I didn't worry about it loosening during a long imaging run. Exactly what I needed to get everything squared away.
