Baader Planetarium Clicklock Eyepiece Clamp 1-1/4"/T-2

It's time to revolutionize your stargazing experience with the Baader Planetarium Click-Lock Eyepiece Clamp (# T2-08). This precision-engineered eyepiece holder is designed to seamlessly integrate with your ASTRO T-2 System, enhancing your telescope's functionality by replacing the standard stock holder. The Click-Lock Eyepiece Clamp introduces a novel approach to eyepiece holders, offering a secure and firm grip on your eyepieces or standard 1 1/4" accessories. With a simple twist of the outer ring, two non-marring rollers engage with the eyepiece, locking it firmly into place. This innovative 3-point clamp design eliminates the common issue of eyepiece wobble found in single screw clamps or Takahashi lockring style holders.

The absence of a protruding lock screw means no more awkward maneuvering around inconveniently positioned screws. The holder is meticulously machined to ensure a snug fit for your eyepieces, keeping them perfectly centered on the optical axis. The long contact length of the cam rollers ensures compatibility with all grooved eyepiece barrels, bridging the groove for a secure and hassle-free fit. On the input side, the eyepiece clamp features an internal T-2 thread, allowing it to connect seamlessly with other components of the T-2 system. On the output side, Baader has incorporated two additional unique features.

The top of the holder includes an adjustable micro-focusing collar, offering 6.5 mm of travel. This allows for precise adjustment of focus or height to match other accessories. This ring is also removable, revealing an external T-2 thread. By coupling extension tubes, the Click-Lock can be used as an afocal projection system, accommodating eyepieces with outer diameters of up to 37mm. The Click-Lock Eyepiece Clamp is an ideal replacement for the stock eyepiece holders supplied with popular telescopes. It is also a key component for several common Astro T-2 System configurations, such as the PrecisionAmici Diagonal, and as a parfocal eyepiece holder for CCD focusing with the Alan Gee Mark II Telecompressor.

Whether you're an amateur astronomer or a seasoned professional, the Baader Planetarium Click-Lock Eyepiece Clamp is a valuable addition to your telescope setup, offering superior performance, precision, and versatility.
