Mechanical Specifications
Compact and robust camera head measures only 78×78×80 mm (approx.
3.1×3.1×3.2 inches). The head is CNC-machined from high-quality
aluminum and black anodized. The head itself contains USB-B (device)
connector, Autoguider port connector, connector for External Filter Wheel
and 12 V DC power plug.
The front side of the C1+ camera body is not intended for direct
attachment of the telescope/lens adapter. It is instead designed to accept
tiltable adapter base, on with the telescope and lens adapters are
mounted. There are two variants of adapters available:
C1 compatible adapter base
with M42×0.75 (T-thread) and back
focal distance (BFD) 18.5 mm.
The 18.5 mm BFD equals to C1 camera with M42×0.75 adapter.
Numerous extension adapters are available for C1 cameras, like
M48×0.75 thread or M42×0.75 thread (T-adapter) with 55 mm
BFD, Canon EOS and Nikon bayonets etc. All these adapters are
then compatible with C1+ cameras.
As opposed to C1 series, these adapters are mounted on the
tiltable base and therefore can adjust optical axis if necessary.
C2 compatible adapter base
with 16.5mm BFD. This adapter is
equipped with four M3 threaded holed 44 mm apart and also
M48×0.75 thread.
Note the 16.5 mm BFD equals to BFD of large cooled C2 cameras
without filter wheel. Therefore, it is possible to attach all adapters
for C2 cameras as well as external filter wheels to this adapter.
When used with External filter wheel, this adapter base lacks the
tilting spring and pushing screws, which are not necessary as the
External filter wheel itself offer tiltable adapters intended for C2
cameras.
