Baader T-2 Heavy Duty Quick Change - How well does it hold?
Hi,
I need to get some parts to allow me to mount my Baader T2 diagonal to my SCT.
Looking through their website I see two possible routes I could go:
Option 1.
Baader T Adapter (BTA) for SC and MAK Telescopes (T-2 part #21)
^Allows me to connect my diagonal to the sct thread and provides rotation
Option 2.
Baader SC / HD Ultra Short T-Adaptor, 7mm optical length
Baader TQC/TCR Heavy duty T-2 Quick Changing System (T-2 part #06A & #07)
^The benefit to this is I can quickly swap between my diagonal and something else like a camera.
The most important thing for me is that everything is connected securely and I can easily rotate my diagonal.
The concern I have with using the Quick Change system is that it won't have enough holding strength when I have a heavy eyepiece in my diagonal at a 90° angle.
Has anyone used the Quick Change system? Is it any good? Which option would be better for rotating?
The other thing I just noticed is it looks like you can't get a dust cap for both sides of the Quick Change system Hmm...
Cheers,
Jameson
