The Baader M42 (T2) Tilter is allows for extremely precise tuning of the image plane with between 0 – 1 of tilt adjustment. Unlike most tilters available, the Baader tilters have three sets of screws on the outer side of the unit, so you do not have to fiddle with shortened allen keys in cramped configurations.

The M42 Tilter is low profile at only 9.50 – 10.25mm optical length, so can be used with fast optics which do not have much backfocus space available. It has male M42 x 0.75threads on one end and female M42 x 0.75threads on the other.

The Baader M42 Tilter is designed so that if removed from the optical train, the adjustment is retained. This means you can swap the unit and camera train onto different telescopes with ease.

All the components that are used in the Baader tilters are produced in-house at Baader’s own machine shop in Mammendorf, Germany. This is in order to reach the necessary highest level of precision, to be able to adjust any corner of the chip in a backward/forward direction with ZERO lateral play during the adjustment procedure.
