 II Binoviewer

Assembly with 2" Newtonian 1 .7x Glasspath Corrector

®

As described before, you need to replace the 
T-2 counter nut with the Zeiss microbayonet. 
The 1.7x glasspath corrector is then attached to 
the binoviewer instead of the TQC quickchang-
er. The TQC is not necessary for this setup.

The 2" Newtonian glasspath corrector 

# 2456300

 provides you a focus gain of approx. 

80 mm. It is the only chance for many Newto-
nian telescopes to reach focus without moving 
the main mirror.

Assembly with the 2" Glasspath Corrector 1 .8x for Refractors and SC's

As described before, attach the Zeiss microbayonet to the MaxBright II instead of 
the T-2 counter nut. Attach the Glasspath Corrector to one side of the T-2 Maxbright 
Mirror 

# 2456100

  and the TQC QuickChanger to the other side. For the GC to work 

correctly, the distances have to match exactly, which is why you must use the T-2 
Maxbright Mirror and no other star diagonal. 

Then put the 2" 1.8x Glasspath Corrector 

# 2456305

 with 

the attached star diagonal into the 2" eyepiece holder of 
your telescope and secure it. Then you can attach 
the binoviewer at the TQC QuickChanger and 
insert the eyepieces.

PLEASE NOTE:

 This GC is inserted deeply into 

the telescope, therefore it can only be used with 
Schmidt-Cassegrains with a sufficiently large baffle, or at 
telescopes without correctors close to the visual back. It can 
not be used with Petzval, EdgeHD or some Maksutov-telescopes 
with corrector lenses close to the eyepiece holder.

Assembly with 2" Star Diagonals

With Glasspath Correctors 1,25x 

# 2456314  (Z), 

1,7x 

# 2456316  (Z)

 or 2,6x 

# 2456317

To use a 2" star diagonal, you first have to remove the 2" eyepiece clamp as described 
on page 7, then screw the SC/T-2-adapter 

#1508035

 into the housing. 

Next place the plastic spacer ring above the thread of the glasspath corrector. Now 
insert the glasspath corrector into the T-2/SC-adapter. It is held safely in place as soon 
as you attach the quickchanger or the binoviewer.

Exception:

 The two glasspath correctors 1,25x 

# 2456314Z

 and 1,7x 

# 2456316Z

 for 

Zeiss micobayonet are mounted in the ring dovetail as described before.
