I asked : I have a Baader MFCC that will be attached directly to my SLR camera via a T-ring , how do I use a TS Off Axis Guider - Radial Guider 2" - Super Low Profile with this arrangement .

My focusor is a 2" low profile crayford style focusor.

Wont the pick-off mirror / prism get in the way when the MFCC is inserted into the Off Axis Guider this way ?

Hello Ian,

I'm afraid even the low-profile TS Off Axis Guider still isn't short enough to be used with an SLR camera. The distance between the MPCC and the camera's sensor will increase so much that the image quality will suffer.

The adaptation itself requires the T2-M48 adapter from the Baader adapter range. Then the T2 thread won't collide with the prism.
