Tune up your astro camera! This adaptor replaces the front piece of your CMOS camera. (Replace the front piece in a clean, dust-free environment! Otherwise, dust may get into the sensor chamber.) There are two reasons why you might want to replace it:
CS-mount instead of C-mount!
Many astro cameras are equipped with the universal C-mount connection. Small wide-angle lenses can be attached here. However, most of these lenses require the 5 mm shorter CS-mount connection to focus! By replacing the C-mount front piece with the CS-mount front piece offered here, you can finally use the small wide-angle lenses.
Not an IR-cut filter!
CMOS astronomy cameras are often equipped with an IR-cut filter. This removes the infrared portion of the light. Depending on the application, this may be desirable, but it can also be an obstacle. Since such an IR-cut filter is permanently incorporated in the camera's front piece, it cannot normally be removed without destroying it. The front piece offered here does not contain an IR-cut filter, but an anti-reflective protective glass. By replacing it, you can now allow your camera to capture the entire light spectrum! (For colour cameras, this results in incorrect colour rendering which must be corrected later during processing).
