Glassspath Correctors (GC)
A Baader Glasspath Corrector (GC) fulfills two
critical roles. Firstly, it corrects the glass path –
that's the amount of glass through which light
passes on its way through the prisms and which
causes chromatic aberrations (colour errors) with
fast telescopes. Secondly, the GC magnifies the
focal length and moves the focal point of the
main telescope. You will find more information
about choosing the right compensator in the ad-
dendum starting at page 20.
The GCs with a Z in the part number are for use
with the Zeiss microbayonet. They are inserted
"upside down", directly into the binoviewer.

1¼" and 2" Nosepieces
A T-2 nosepiece in 1¼" (31,8mm,
# 2458105
)
or 2" (50,8 mm,
# 2408150
) is used to
connect the binoviewer either through the
pre-installed T-2 coupling nut or the optional
TQC quick changer with a focuser/eyepiece
clamp. They can also be used to use a T-2
star diagonal at 1¼" or 2" focusers.
