The PrimaLuceLab M98 to M68 adapter connects an M68 female camera or accessory to the ESATTO 3.5 LP. Its stop ring allows precise camera orientation. Minimum optical thickness is only 5 mm.
The PrimaLuceLab M98 to M68 adapter with stop ring is specifically designed for the ESATTO 3.5 LP robotic focuser. It allows a camera or accessory equipped with an M68 female thread to be connected to the ESATTO draw tube.
The adapter screws directly onto the M98 thread of the ESATTO 3.5 LP draw tube and provides an M68 connection for the imaging equipment installed behind it.
Its design incorporates an M68 stop ring. This allows the angular orientation of the camera to be precisely adjusted and then locked in the selected position. This feature is particularly useful in astrophotography for correctly orienting the camera sensor and obtaining the desired framing of the target.
Unlike a fixed adapter where the final position depends on where the threads reach their mechanical stop, the stop ring allows the equipment to be secured at the desired angle.
The mechanical drawing supplied by PrimaLuceLab specifies an M98 thread on the ESATTO side and an M68 thread on the camera or accessory side. It also confirms a minimum optical thickness of 5 mm.
This limited optical thickness minimizes the space occupied by the adapter within the imaging train, which is particularly important for astrophotography configurations requiring precise backfocus management.
The M98 to M68 adapter with stop ring therefore provides a compact mechanical solution for connecting cameras, filter wheels, off-axis guiders or other accessories with an M68 female connection to the ESATTO 3.5 LP while maintaining precise control over their angular orientation.
