Getting started
Always install the D-ERF in front of the telescope
before you install the H-alpha-filter and point the telescope at the sun .
The SolarSpectrum filters can be screwed directly to the respective telecentric system
via the T-2 thread. Optionally, a Baader TQC/TCR Heavy duty T-2 Quick Changing
System
# 2456322
can also be used to make it easier to attach and align the filter,
especially when the telecentric is screwed to the telescope. If the telecentric (especially
the Research Grade TZ-3) has an SC thread, you can also unscrew the T-2-adapter on
the telescope-side of the SolarSpectrum H-alpha filter. This is recommended especially
for SolarSpectrum filters with more than 42 mm aperture to avoid vignetting by the T-2
system.
Depending on the model, there are several ways to install the telecentric system:
•
Using a 2" eyepiece clamp:
TZ-2, TZ-3 and TZ-4 can be used at 2" eyepiece
clamps via the T-2-thread with the 2" / T-2 (M48) nosepiece with Safety Kerfs
# 2458130
. With the SC-thread of the TZ-3, you can also use the 2" Safety Kerf
nosepiece with 2" filter thread
# 2408156
. TZ3-S and TZ4-S already provide a stan-
dard 2" nose piece integrated in their housing. For a better grip, we recommend
clamps with a clamping ring like our ClickLock
®
eyepiece clamps.
•
Using a screw connecion at the telescope:
This is recommended for the longer
telecentric systems TZ-2, TZ-3 and TZ-4. You can use the T-2-thread, in the case of
the TZ-3, there is also an SC-thread available. If you are using a Baader Diamond
SteelTrack
®
focuser, you can replace its eyepiece clamp with one of the following
threaded adapters:
• Diamond Steeltrack

•
Using the Tele-Kompendium:
At telescopes with M68-thread, you can insert
the telecentric systems TZ-2, TZ-3 and TZ-4 also in the M68 Tele-Kompendium
# 2459258
. The telecentric sysem is screwed into the telescope-side of the Tele-
Kompendium, the H-alpha-filter can be attached with an included 2"/T-2-nosepiece
at the end of the Tele-Kompendium. The large diameter of the M68-system carries
even heavy loads without twisting.
Especially for the longer telecentric systems, we recommend a screw connection to
the telescope to avoid tilting.
