The TSRCKOLLI collimator was developed for Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes, but also for all other types of telescopes, like refractor, Newtonian or SC Cassegrains - made in Europe

• The corrector allows the collimation of almost all optical systems with high accuracy.
• Suitable for all 2" receptacle with precice 2" barrel to avoid tilting
• LEDs are powered by 2 normal 1.5V AA batteries (batteries are not included)
• We recommend the collimator mainly for RC telescopes, Cassegrains and Schmidt Cassegrains as long as they have a center mark on their secondary mirror. So a top collimation state of the telescope can be reached even at daylight.

The adapter extends a male T2 thread to M48x0.75 (2") filter thread without increasing the length.

• Female thread: T2 - M42x0.75
• Male thread: 2" filter thread - M48x0.75
• Length: only 2.5 mm - the mechanical length is optically not effective, as the adapter is completely sunken in the connection adapter

TS Photoline APO refractor wit 72 mm aperture and fast f/6 focal ratio, a great travel telescope for observation and astrophotography.

• ♦ Powerful, aberration-free apochromatic refractor with 72 mm aperture and 432 mm focal length.
• ♦ Fast focal ratio: f/6
• ♦ FPL53 doublet objective (Ohara Japan), air-spaced - additional lanthanum element, so no chromatic aberration
• ♦ 2.5" dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser - ball bearing mounted for maximum load with M63x1 female thread for adaptions
• ♦ Retractable dew cap - the apo even fits into the hand luggage
• ♦ CNC tube rings with versatile dovetail bar - EQ5 style and with photo tripod connection.
• ♦ Findershoe on the focuser is included
• ♦ Weight only 2.18 kg - transport length only 31 cm

The TS Superflat GPU coma corrector is one of the best correctors for astrophotography through fast Newtonians.

• 4-element coma corrector for excellent imaging in the field and on the axis.
• Designed by Gyulai Pal in Hungary (GPU-Optics)
• Perfectly suitable for Newtonian telescopes with focal ratios of f/4 - provides very good results from f/3.5 to f/6.
• Very tolerant against tilting.
• Focal length is not changed.
• Camera connection through M48 thread.
• For better stability and accuracs, the corrector can be screwed to the focuser. Connection adapters for cameras and focusers are available.

This low profile adaptor enables the connection of T2 accessories to adaptors with M48x0,75 male thread.

• Thread towards telescope: M48x0,75 - 2" filter thread (female thread)
• Thread towards camera: T2 - M42x0,75 male thread
• Optical length only 3,5 mm
• Combining the optical extension tube TSVF230 with the TSM48-T2 adaptor provides a Focal Adaptor from 2" to T2 - with no optical length!

The 2" CCD compressor reduces the focal length of telescopes with the factor 0.67x, thus allowing significantly shorter exposure times.

• ♦ The focal reducer is perfectly suitable for RC telescope. It also works good with Celestron EHD or Meade ACF telescopes or with refractors up to the focal ratio F/9
• ♦ The image field of DSLR cameras up to APS-C format is illuminated - full illumination up to 29 mm
• ♦ Easy connection to the telescope via 2" barrel
• ♦ Optimal working distance from the M48x0.75 thread to the camera sensor is 85 mm - enough space for accessories like off-axis guider or filter wheel
• ♦ 2" filter thread at the telescope side
