Vixen DC ring 60 mm to T2 camera thread

Enter the world of astrophotography now. With the new BRESSER HD moon and planet camera with ST4 autoguider function. This camera is very good for astrophotography with short exposure times, i.e. for celestial objects like the moon, planets or star clusters. For astrophotography with long exposure times for low light deep sky objects, like galaxies and gas nebulae, we recommend the BRESSER Full HD Deep-Sky Camera (Art. No. 4959050) instead, with it's even higher resolution and sensor sensitivity. Equipped with the new high-sensitivity SONY IMX225 CMOS colour sensor, the BRESSER HD moon and planet camera delivers amazing image results with very short exposure times, even with simple telescope equipment. In addition, this ultra-modern camera can also be used as an autoguider, e.g. to actively track the main imaging device with SLR or CCD astro camera. A universal CMOS colour camera that delivers super-sharp lunar and planetary images in particular. The particularly low noise level of this new chip generation from SONY, ensures an exceptionally high brilliance and no cooling is required. Due to the high native pixel resolution of 1280x980, together with suitable telescopes, very beautiful images of the moon, but also detailed planetary images are possible. The ToupSky pro software included in the scope of delivery not only offers the necessary basic functions for image and video recording, but also many helpful special functions for image post-processing and for setting up the Guider. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark image capture, stacking, timelapse recordings and much more can be individually configured. Especially the very sophisticated software makes it really easy for you to get started in astrophotography. With the automatic settings, you can produce absolutely presentable results without much prior knowledge. If you wish, simply switch off the automatic settings and gradually venture into the individual professional settings. Connect the camera directly to the ST4 connector of your telescope mount and you have fully automatic tracking control. This makes long exposures of several minutes possible without the stars producing unwanted line marks due to the ever-present synchronisation fluctuations of a telescope mount. A corresponding ST-4 connection cable is even included with the camera. Due to the high light sensitivity of the camera, you will always find a suitable guide star even with very short exposure times. For connection to guide tubes or off-axis guiders, the camera has a 1.25" plug-in sleeve, 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6) and C-mount thread (1 "x1/32"). IMPORTANT NOTES: This is not a stand-alone guider camera. You always need a Windows 10 / 11 computer to take pictures and for autoguiding. The autoguider software is not included. You can use PHD2 Guiding, Guidedog, Metaguide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, MaxIm DL (paid).

The BRESSER Telescope Camera Adapter is the connecting piece between your 35 mm DSLR camera and the telescope. The connection to your camera can be achieved with the fitting T2-mount (T2-mount optional). For the focal fotography, you need to unscrew the bottom part of the adapter and attach the camera with the fitting T2-mount directly to the push-on contact. The eyepiece projection is possible when you put an eyepiece into the adapter and tighten the knurled screw. After that, you have to attach the T2-mount and the camera and you are ready to go.FEATURESEyepiece connection diameter: 31.7 mm (1.25")Eyepiece total diameter max. 35mm  SCOPE OF DELIVERYTelescope Camera Adapter 1.25"

NOTE: This item is a used or returned product. This means: The item may show slight signs of use and the packaging may differ from the original packaging. Please note that refurbished items generally come with a 12-month warranty.The Vixen VA225C autoguider camera is designed to tackle common challenges in astrophotography, such as atmospheric interference and minor tracking errors that can cause star trails during long exposures. When paired with an optional guide scope, this highly sensitive colour CMOS camera continuously monitors star positions and automatically adjusts your equatorial mount in real time to correct for any deviations. This allows you to capture sharp, long-exposure images — especially useful when using telescopes with longer focal lengths. Beginner-friendly operation The VA225C makes it easy for newcomers to get started with autoguiding. Simply connect the camera to your telescope mount using the included ST4 cable for fully automated tracking control. The dedicated “Vixen Autoguider” PC software offers three preset guiding modes — City, Suburban, and Dark Sky — tailored to different viewing conditions. You can also fine-tune the settings to suit specific locations and atmospheric conditions if needed. Accurate polar alignment — without a polar finder With its built-in plate solving functionality, the VA225C allows for precise polar alignment without the need for a separate polar finder. You can check the alignment accuracy in real time via the software interface and make direct adjustments on the spot. This feature simplifies your setup process and ensures optimal conditions for successful astrophotography sessions. Exceptional sensitivity and flexible connectivity Thanks to its excellent light sensitivity, the VA225C can reliably detect suitable guide stars even with very short exposures. The camera comes with a 1.25" nosepiece for connection to guide scopes or off-axis guiders, a 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6), and a C-mount thread (1" x 1/32"). We recommend the Vixen 7x50mm Finder Scope II (sold separately, item no.: X086161) as a guide scope. Its parfocal design ensures the focus remains consistent when switching between an eyepiece and the camera — so your guide star stays locked in view.

The Vixen 60 mm to M48 camera adapter is used to mount an astronomical CMOS camera to Vixen telescopes with a 60 mm focuser. The adapter is suitable for cameras or accessories with an M48 × 0.75 internal thread. You can directly connect third-party CMOS cameras and other products with an M48 thread. (Depending on the CMOS camera, an extension tube (optional) may be required.) The adapter can be freely rotated by loosening the clamping screws to orient the image as desired. Using the optional M56 Filter Conversion Adapter 48/52, you can attach 48 mm / 52 mm third-party photographic filters. Note:When using the M56 Filter Conversion Adapter 48/52, the PH corrector, PH extender, Coma Corrector 3 and SDP Reducer cannot be used.  FEATURES Camera adapter: 60 mm to M48 Telescope side connection: 60 mm, P = 0.75 mm Accessory side (internal): M56 × 0.75 (female) Camera side (internal): M48 × 0.75 (female) Adapter: rotatable SCOPE OF DELIVERY 60 mm to M48 camera adapter

The Vixen focal adapter can be used to connect your DSLR camera to your telescope via a 60-mm thread. The large internal diameter of the adapter prevents shadows at the edges of the image when using a full-frame DSLR camera. The focal adapter can also be rotated to rotate the field of view selection. Three locking screws are provided for clamping.Note: Vixen T2 ring also required for your Canon. In this case, the inner ring is removed from the T2 adapter and clamped using three small grub screws.FEATURES60-mm connection thread for OAZWeight: 56 gT-ring for Canon EOS also requiredPACKAGE CONTENTSVixen focal adapter for Canon EOS

Explore Scientific 82° Series™ extreme wide field eyepieces are optimized to produce high contrast, high resolution, and superior flat field characteristics. The visual effect of these eyepieces with their long eye-relief and their 82° apparent field is truly a full-immersion experience. Your eye is relaxed, allowing you to easily use the "averted vision" technique to study faint details across a huge field-of-view. The 82° Series eyepieces come with a twist-up rubber eye-guard that raise to the desired height for the comfort of the observer, and as experienced astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the visual limits of the telescope. To keep internal reflections to a minimum, all internal surfaces of the eyepiece barrel are flat black, as well as the edges of the lenses themselves to minimize the scattering of light within the lenses themselves. All 82° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.
