BAADER UFC LOW PROFILE TILTER

The Baader UFC Tilter is compatible with the entire Baader UFC system and allows for extremely precise tuning of the image plane with between 0 - 1° of tilt adjustment. Unlike most tilters available, the Baader tilters have three sets of screws on the outer side of the unit, so you do not have to fiddle with shortened allen keys in cramped configurations.

The UFC Tilter is low profile at only 9.75 - 10.50mm optical length, so can be used with fast optics which do not have much backfocus space available.

The Baader UFC Universal Filter Changer is an incredibly versatile modular filter holder system with adapters for a wide range of telescopes and imaging trains, including the Celestron RASA series and even camera lenses.

Every component of the UFC system is precisely machined and designed so that no flexure is introduced into the imaging train. The adjustable magnet allows you to exactly tune the retaining force and positioning of the filter for repeatable flat frames.

Below is a diagram showing the many different camera- and telescope-side adapters, extension rings and filter holders that are available in the UFC system, with over 30 different items to choose from. While it may look complicated, it is simply a matter of matching the telescope adapter and camera adapter to the main body and selecting a suitable filter holder.

 The low profile and shape of the UFC makes it suitable for use with the Celestron RASA / Hyperstar system, where traditional filter wheels would block too much of the light path. It will also fit between a diagonal and SCT without causing focusing issues.
