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.

Timothy Q. ★★★★★

The 2-inch 24tpi thread seats perfectly on my focuser—no wobble, no fuss. I've been swapping cameras in and out for a week and the fit is still rock solid, which is exactly what you want for a setup you'll be touching constantly.

Riley K. ★★★★★

Finally, a threaded ring that actually holds my camera securely without any wobble during long exposures. The fine 2-inch threads grip perfectly and I didn't have to fight with it to get a tight fit.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The 2-inch 24tpi threads engage smoothly and lock up rock-solid — no wobble at all in my imaging train. Exactly what I needed to eliminate flexure between the focuser and camera.
