Artesky 2" Filter Holder and T2 Adapter for Celestron RASA8 Astrograph

Artesky 2" Filter Holder for Celestron RASA8

High-quality fog filters enable deep astro shots with the powerful RASA8, even under less than optimal conditions. This adapter enables the installation of mounted 2" nebula filters and at the same time offers a working distance of 17.5 mm from the T2 thread. The adapter can of course also be used without filter.

The Artesky RASA8 T2 adapter and filter holder is suitable for all astro cameras with T2 connection and a working distance of 17.5 mm or less.

You can directly connect the following ZWO cameras, among others: ASI294MC-PRO, ASI1600MM-PRO, ASI1600MC-PRO, ASI183MC-PRO, ASI183MM-PRO. Cameras with shorter working distances can also be adapted with the appropriate T2 extensions.

Question:
How do I connect my 2" filter to the adapter and to my 8" RASA???

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
The Artesky adapter has a 2" filter thread. For clean installation, proceed as follows:

Screw the 2" filter into the Artesky filter holder.

Screw the camera to the filter holder and make sure that the working distance is correct.

Turn down the counter ring on your RASA8 counterclockwise and remove the original T2 adapter.

Slide the counter ring from behind over the astro camera and over the Arteksy adapter, the ring is now loose on the adapter.

Now attach the adapter with the camera to the RASA8 and fix the camera with the counter ring.

Ready! - now the exposure can begin
