with the ring dovetail. The glasspath corrector is held in place by the ring dovetail of
the binocular.
The glasspath correctors 1.25x and 1.7x are screwed into the ring dovetail located

Attaching a camera

Cameras with a long flange focal length, such as digital
SLR cameras with a flange focal length of 55 mm, do
not usually come into focus, as most refractors are
designed to use these cameras without an additional
star diagonal. In this case, you have to remove the 2"
ClickLock and replace it with the Diamond Steeltrack

T-2 adapter
To do this, proceed as described in the chapter "Shor-
tening the overall length".
Astronomical cameras with a 1¼" or 2" nose piece
can usually be used behind the Herschel prism without any problems.
Astronomical cameras with a T-2 thread can be used directly on the Herschel prism
with the Baader 2" / T-2 (M48) nosepiece
