BAADER GLASSPATH CORRECTOR 2.60x FOR BINOVIEWER

Baader Planetarium



The Baader 2.60x Glasspath Corrector is designed for use with the MaxBright II and Mark V Binoviewers. It features a T2 (M42 x 0.75) thread for direct connection to a T2 diagonal or nosepiece. Unlike the other Glasspath correctors, the 2.60x version's lens cell cannot be opened as the lenses are separately centered during manufacturing.

As the name suggests, it corrects the glass path through which light passes through the binoviewer's prisms, removing the chromatic aberrations introduced by the additional optical elements.

It also moves the focal point significantly, adding approximately 65mm of focus. When mounted in front of a star diagonal, an extra 15mm of focus is added. This is useful for telescopes which have limited backfocus.

Excellent, as expected

These GPCs are not primarily for magnification, so choose for what is needed to let the binoviewer (MaxBright II for me) come to focus. I needed at least two, for different telescopes and configurations (the FOA-60 and FOA-60Q have different needs).
On arrival it seemed I had ordered the wrong one (the -Z version); I needed it screwed into the prism - but of course it is a Baader, so it could be opened and the lens reversed. Problem solved. Works great. Just wish the skies were as clear and cooperative.
