Mfg Model #  05528

All astrophotography equipment requires critical spacing in relation to the astronomical imaging camera so that proper focus can be achieved. Without correct spacing for your gear, your astrophotographs will most likely be plagued by fuzzy, unfocused stars and exhibit lackluster resolution. Finding the means to obtain just the right amount of spacing can be difficult to say the least. Our helpful T-thread Spacer Ring Kit includes a 5mm, 10mm, and 25mm spacer ring with male T-threads on one side, and female T-threads on the other, so you can mix and match them to achieve ideal spacing depending on the specific needs of your particular astrophotography setup. Each spacer ring features an easy-grip knurled exterior, and a glare-reducing threaded interior to maximize contrast. The black anodized aluminum spacer rings can also be used as extension tubes.

Any astrophotographer who uses off-axis guiders, focal reducers, coma correctors, field flatteners, adaptive optics guiders, or other imaging accessories needs the versatile and affordable Orion T-thread Spacer Ring Kit in their accessory case. Don't leave home without it!

This is a well-constructed and useful item that it is also reasonably priced.
The combination of sizes allows for an excellent solution to multiple imaging issues. In my case, I was able to achieve the needed distance between a coma corrector and image sensor.

This spacer set does the job. In my case, I do not need to insert the spacers into the focuser, the image train is as follows...camera, spacer rings, FF/FR. So I do not have the same issues as the previous poster because only the FF/FR is inserted into the focuser. Wish they included 2 10mm spacers instead of just one but it gets the job done. I currently use the spacer rings with my QHY10 camera, Explore Scientific 80mm APO and my Teleview TRF-2008 FF/FR and have had some good results. This is a good product and will come in handy for those who use Focal reducers and/or field flatteners.

Priced very nicely, these T-spacer rings allow one to space cameras from image correctors (such as coma correctors) correctly. Nice mix of spacings provided. Only con is that the rings are not a smooth 2 inches in outside diameter, so they can not easily be used inside a draw tube.
Favorite viewing location:??Farm near Lee, IL
Favorite object to observe:??M11
Pros: nice mix of spacings, good price.
Cons: barrel of spacers not 2" od and not smooth
Yes, I recommend this product!
