CCD Accessories
The Series IV 'Stiletto' attaches the very same way your ccd camera does.  There are lots of ways to do this besides just using a 1.25" nosepiece.  Read on!

C-mount adapters allow you to use regular 35mm camera lenses on accessories that have a female c-mount thread.  Most quality camcorders and video cameras have removeable lenses that are held in place with a c-mount thread.  If your lens can be unscrewed, most likely it uses a c-mount.  In use, screw the c-mount adapter into your video camera, and then attach your camera lens to the adapter normally.

CCD Nosepiece Extension Tube

If you are using a separate Color Filter Wheel (CFW) with your CCD, a nosepiece extension will be needed to add the necessary backfocus distance to the Series IV focuser.  Our extension tubes are made specifically to match the width of your CFW.  When ordering, please let us know what model CFW you are using.  If you are using additional attachments as well, such as the SBIG AO-7, other types of extensions are available also.  Please inquire.

AO8 Variable Extension Adapter SCT

Weight: lbs

xm2kCFWAO7
This adapter is designed to add the backfocus necessary to use the AO8  with the Series IV focuser. One end has standard male t-threads that screw into the Series IV body, and the other end may be attached to match your set up.   The length of this adapter measures 50mm and may be varied over a 10mm range allowing precise matching to your own set up.   This adapter length can be varied to include both units, and the SBIG 5mm spacer, if used.  The unit is sent precalibrated to your configuration, but  may be easily tweaked. It includes a 2" nosepiece and works perfectly with the new ST4000 and others.

2" SBIG Type Nosepiece

Weight: lbs
!
This nosepiece is machined to match the Baader 2" nosepiece used on recent SBIG cameras, including the ST-2000.  For maximum flexibility in attachment, however, it may be wiser in the long-run to purchase two 2" camera adapters above, one for the SBIG camera, and one for the Series IV 'Stiletto' since they may be attached directly to standard 2" standard SCT threads.

1.25" SBIG type CCD nosepiece

Weight: lbs
!
The SBIG type nosepiece is specific for SBIG cameras.  The flange thickness on SBIG nosepieces is .65mm.
