TS short Quick Coupling and T2 Rotation for the T2 Thread
This adapter is a real problem solver for astrophotography, but also for observation (for example with star diagonals with T2 thread at the telescope side). Thanks to its short design, the TST2Rot can be integrated into almost any adapter system. The most important application areas of the TST2Rot are:

360° rotation for adjusting the field of view of the camera:
The adapter allows you to rotate the camera without losing focus. This allows you to optimally position the nebula or galaxies even with a threaded camera mount. Or you can align your camera exactly to the coordinates, especially helpful for comparing lunar or solar images, but also for moving the telescope to another detail.

This function is especially helpful for afocal eyepiece projection with the Baader Hyperion Zoom, because you also rotate the camera when changing the eyepiece focal length. If the eyepiece is connected to the telescope via barrel, it can be rotated in the focuser, but not with a screw mount. In this case, TST2Rot brings back the desired orientation.

Quick removal of the camera from the telescope:
The quick-release coupling allows the camera to be removed quickly without threading which could cause the hassle of tangling the cables. For example, you can change the batteries of the camera within a very short time and maintain the focus position. All cables can remain connected to the camera.

Easier finding of the guide star when autoguiding:
Rotate the autoguider to find a suitable guide star in the field more easily.

Practical tips:
First*:] If you separate camera and telescope, for example because you want to use a different camera or telescope, one opening remains open. To prevent dust from entering, you can simply fit the corresponding counterpart of a second TST2Rot with a matching cover (linked in the accessories section) and use it as a cover for the opening.

[*Second:
With some accessories, it can happen that their contact surfaces do not go completely up to the respective contact surfaces of the rotation adapter, so you get more path than the specified 5.5 mm. For distance-critical applications such as coma correctors, it is better to measure with a caliper gauge.

An example: Adaptation of a coma corrector (55 mm working distance) with M48 thread to a planetary camera from ZWO (12.5 mm flange focal length) with T2 thread. This means that 42.5 mm path is required. According to the caliper, this was achieved with TSM48-T2L, TST2rot, T2Abstimmring03 and TST2V30, "official" path 41.8 mm.
Telescope side thread:T2 female thread M42x0.75
Camera-side thread:T2 external thread
Overall height:only 5.5 mm (without the T2 external thread)
Length of the two T2 threads:4 mm each
Outer diameter:67 mm

"Lässt sich einfach zwischen Kamera und Filterrad montieren. Durch die beiden Schrauben kann man die Kamera jederzeit sehr einfach drehen. Man kann es ebenso als Schnellkupplung verwenden um Kameras auszutauschen ohne dass man jedesmal Schraubverbindungen lösen muss. Die selbstzentrierende Ausführung erleichtert die Handhabung ebenfalls."

"Great little addition, very handy when using DLSR lenses coupled with dedicated astro camera via Geoptik´s EF to M42 adapter."

"Very fast shipping. The adapter work very well and well builded, no tilting issue found for now. It solve my filter wheel (orientation) balance issue between the filter and the CCD. "

"Solides Teil mit guter Verarbeitung und Zentrierung; m. E. eher geeignet für den Anbau von Zubehör mit kleinem bis mittlerem Gewicht. Bei höheren Lasten sollte man die Kupplung so platzieren, dass ein möglichst kleiner Hebelarm entsteht."

"This adaptor is an extremely useful and important part of my apparatus, as it allows me to flexibly rotate the camera orientation. In spectroscopic work, I use it to align with the diffraction grating so that the spectrum lies horizontally (elsewhere in the imaging chain, a different T2 locking ring aligns this with the celestial equatorial coordinates). In other work from high resolution solar work to moderate resolution deep sky work, this adaptor allows flexible alignment of the camera with celestial equatorial coordinates. This adaptor looks weak in the product photo but is in fact very rigid and strongly build. The camera is not going to dislodge from the adaptor. Similarly the 2 screws are very strong in holding the camera orientation on position. For cameras of 400 g or lighter, even one screw is enough to securely hold the camera in a particular position for extended periods. In my view, this is one of the most important must-have items for any imaging accessory. However, I never use it as a quick changer because of the particular way I set up my imaging. It should be noted, however, that the ring dovetail is very strong and there is absolutely no concern that it might dislodge from position or tilt from the optical axis."

"Die Schnellkupplung ist stabil genug meine Atik 460 fest auf der optischen Achse zu halten. Zur Rotation des CCD löst man die beiden Schrauben nur leicht, sodass sich der Mittelpunkt des CCD nicht merklich verschiebt."
