The HoTech SCA T-Adapter 2\" fits any make telescope that uses 2” focuser or visual back. Use your existing T-Ring matches your brand of camera and thread onto the SCA T-Adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSCA Brings your Camera to the Closest Optical Axis in the Drawtube\/Visual back for BEST Imaging Result\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo capture great images from your telescope, it is essential to position your camera firmly in and on the optical axis of your drawtube\/visual back. The SCA T-Adapter center loads your camera in the drawtube\/visual back with a simple threading of a compression ring forcing the built-in rubber rings outward radially, thereby centering the camera in the drawtube\/visual back for optimal installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSCA Eliminates Drawtube\/Visual Back Slop\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll drawtube\/visual back have manufacturing tolerances. And it requires larger diameter to accept various eyepieces and adapters. When the camera adapter is inserted, the gap between the drawtube\/visual back and the inserting device became a slop problem. The rubber rings in the SCA expand radially according to users own adjustment to fill the gaps. This makes your camera seats firmly in your drawtube\/visual back becoming part of your telescope for a secure and repeatable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSCA Eliminates unstable locking from thumbscrew or unified compression ring\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optical axis is shifted when the inserting device is locked in by thumbscrew. In some cases, some poorly made unified compression ring can cause unstable tilt when locking in the drawtube due to loose tolerances between the compression ring, inner groove, and the uneven tip of the locking thumbscrew in a drawtube. The SCA T-Adapter adapts your camera without using the thumbscrew or the unified compression ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSCA Accepts the Imperfection of a Drawtube\/Visual Back\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall imperfection inside the drawtube like dents and scratches, the rubber rings fill the gaps and faithfully centers your camera in the tube. In addition, even if the drawtube is slightly deformed in diameter, egg-shape, the rubber rings in the SCA will compensate the differences and faithfully centers your camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShort SCA Profile Prevents Oscillation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort profile design keeps the installed camera stable from low frequency oscillation transferred from the telescope in a windy environment. The back focus of a 2\" SCA T-Adapter is 19mm(0.75\") and 1.25\" SCA T-Adapter is 18mm (0.71\") measured from drawtube shoulder to the bottom T-Thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSCA Damps Vibration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-around adjustable tightness rubber contact damps unwanted vibrations from the telescope provides you a sturdy attachment on your telescope for a stable image capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSCA Accepts Filter Thread\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2” T-Adapter has built-in 2” (48mm) filter thread, and 1.25” T-Adapter has built-in 1.25” filter thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hotechusa.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/104\/images\/scatadapterapart008-h200.jpg?width=700\" width=\"243\" height=\"172\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hotechusa.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/104\/images\/scatadaptercomplete011-h200.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"171\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/www.hotechusa.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/104\/images\/scatadaptercomplete011-h200.jpg?width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal precision prime focus T-Adapter for your astro imaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Provides 360 deg. rubber square rings contact for the most secure and reliable adaption in your focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Brings your Camera to the Closest Optical Axis in the Drawtube\/Visual back for BEST Imaging Result\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Eliminates Drawtube\/Visual Back Slop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Eliminates unstable locking from thumbscrew or unified compression ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Accepts the Imperfection of a Drawtube\/Visual Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort SCA Profile Prevents Oscillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Damps Vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCA Accepts Filter Thread device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specification\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptical Length: 0.71″\/18mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStandard Filter Thread: 1.25” filter thread\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimension: 1.97″\/50mm dia. x 1.42″\/36mm (L)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 1.25″ SCA T-Adapter: 1.86 oz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2″ SCA T-Adapter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManual \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHotech 1-Year Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoTech SCA T-Adapter Manual\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hotech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52326087557421,"sku":"jwq1787936759821","price":43.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/0749\/7005\/files\/hotech-sca-t-adapter-2-sca-ta2_1.png?v=1787936765","url":"https:\/\/www.camomileridge.shop\/products\/hotech-sca-t-adapter-2-sca-ta2","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
