SunDancer II Telecentric System TZ-3S 

# 1363070

•  Achromatic 3x telecentric system with 

yellow

 sleeve, also 

suitable for white light and planetary photogrphy

•  Four-lens optical design, BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) 

coating – gives you f/30 at telescopes with f/10

•  Anti-reflective thread and blackened lens edges
•  Clear aperture: 27,5 mm on the camera side
•  Image circle 27,5 mm in a distance of 

96 mm from the base of the T-2 thread

•  1¼" and 2" nose piece with 1¼" filter 

thread, T-2 thread on the camera side

•  Worling distance: 96 mm from the base 

of the T-2-thread without an additional 
H-alpha-filter (65 mm from the base of the 
T-2-thread of the SunDancer II H-alpha-
filter due to the glass path of the H-alpha-filter)

Please note: The TZ3-S is also part of the Baader SunDancer II H-alpha filter. There, it 
also contains a additional blocking filter with 19 mm diameter, so that this H-alpha-fil-
ter can be used at telescopes up to an aperture of 80 mm without an additional D-ERF, 
and has got a 

red 

sleeve for better distinction. 

SunDancer II Telecentric System TZ-4S 

# 1363080

•  Short achromatic 4x telecentric system with 

violet

 sleeve, also 

suitable for white light and planetary photogrphy

•  four lens optical design, BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coa-

ting – gives you f/30 at telescopes with f/7,5

•  Anti-reflective thread and blackened lens edges
•  Clear aperture: 36 mm on the camera side
•  Image circle 36 mm in a distance of 97 mm from the base of the T-2 thread
•  1¼" and 2" nose piece with 1¼" filter thread, T-2 thread on  

the camera side, filter cell for the 19 mm blocking filter of the SunDancer II

•  Worling distance: 97 mm  

from the base of the T-2- 
thread without an additio-
nal H-alpha-filter (70 mm 
from the base of the T-2- 
thread of the SunDancer II 
H-alpha-filter)

The TZ4-S is compatible with the  

blocking filter of the SunDancer II H-alpha filter. The 37 mm aperture also 
allows use with larger H-alpha filters with additional blocking/energy rejecting filter.
