Baader 90° BBHS T-2 mirror socket BBHS T-2 2456103

The Baader 90° BBHS T-2 mirror socket is a precision optical accessory designed for astronomical telescopes, ensuring reliable performance for both amateur and professional astronomers. Featuring a hard silver coating with a dielectric protective overcoat, this diagonal delivers exceptionally high reflectivity and long-term durability. It is engineered for stargazing and planetary observation setups, providing crystal-clear image transmission and a secure connection via T-2 threads.

Advantages

This optical accessory offers superior light transmission and image sharpness thanks to its advanced BBHS coating technology. The hard silver coating combined with a dielectric protective layer protects the optical surface from environmental factors while maintaining maximum reflectivity. The robust construction ensures mechanical stability during intensive observation sessions, and the standardized T-2 threads allow for seamless integration with a wide variety of astronomical equipment and camera adapters.

Suitable for

• Astronomical telescopes requiring a 90-degree viewing angle
• Planetary and deep-sky stargazing setups
• Amateur and professional observational astronomy
• Systems utilizing T-2 threaded optical connections

When it may not be suitable

This mirror socket is not compatible with optical systems that do not support T-2 threading without the use of additional adapters. It is specifically designed for astronomical telescopes and is not intended for terrestrial viewing instruments or spotting scopes that require image-correcting prisms.

Key specifications

• 90-degree viewing angle
• Hard silver coating with dielectric protective overcoat
• T-2 threaded connections
• Precision optical accessory for astronomical telescopes

How to use

To use the mirror socket, attach it securely to the telescope focuser using the T-2 threaded connection. Ensure the connection is tight and properly aligned to prevent any mechanical play. Insert your 1.25-inch or compatible eyepiece or imaging camera into the eyepiece side of the diagonal and secure it with the clamping mechanism. Adjust the telescope focus until a sharp image of the celestial object is achieved.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your telescope setup is compatible with T-2 threaded accessories
• Confirm that a 90-degree viewing angle suits your preferred observation posture
• Check if additional adapters are needed for your specific eyepieces or cameras

Usage recommendations: Keep the optical surfaces clean by using specialized lens cleaning tools only when necessary, and always store the mirror socket in a protective case with dust caps attached when not in use to prevent dust accumulation on the coated mirror.
