Description

Camera Adapters

How do you attach your camera?

Over the years, Optec has developed dozens of adapters and custom fittings for various cameras and mounts. While most astronomical cameras have a female T-thread mount, many of the larger chip cameras are now being offered with even larger mechanical interfaces, such as the relatively new 3-inch 24tpi female mount available on Apogee, SBIG, and a modified version on the FLI cameras. However, there are a variety of other mounts such as the STL 4-bolt mount.

We classify our camera mounts by the size and shape of the "telescope" side mechanical interface for a typical configuration. These mounts correspond to many of our astronomy products. For example:

  • OPTEC-2300 Camera Adapters for use with the Pyxis rotator, IFW Universal Mounting Ring, and Perseus 4-port parfocalizing rings.
    • The OPTEC-2300 circular dovetail mount is used for the TCF-S focuser and IFW filter wheel to allow easy connections from most any camera. If your scope or accessory is not listed, do not hesitate to call.
  • OPTEC-2380 Mounting Rings are threaded mounts for use with the IFW and MAXfilter systems. 
    • The OPTEC-2380 circular dovetail mount is used for the IFW Intelligent Filter Wheel and Perseus 4-port selector parfocalizing rings to attach most cameras and accessories.
  • OPTEC-3000 Dovetail Mounts for use with the 3-inch TCF-S3, Pyxis 3", and IFW-3.

Grace ★★★★★

I’ve been swapping adapters for years, but this C-thread ring finally gives me a rock-solid connection between my camera and the IFW—no more flexure or tilt in my images. The anodized finish feels precision-machined, and threading it on was smooth and snug without any cross-threading worry.

Ava E. ★★★★★

Threads matched up perfectly with my camera's C-mount and the direct coupling feels rock solid, no wiggle at all. Took about a minute to install and I didn't need any extra adapters, which was the whole reason I bought it.

Steven ★★★★★

Screwed this onto my ASI camera and it mated with the IFW coupler on the first try, no wobble at all. Spacing came out dead-on, so my back focus didn't need any shims. Solid little piece of machining for the price.
