- Suitable to insert into the Baader MaxBright (Classic and MaxBright® II) or Mark V Großfeld (Giant)-Binocular (#2456410 , € 1425,-)
- A Baader Glaspathcorrector is not a Barlow lens! The reason for this name (in Germany the name Glaswegkorrektor® is a protected trademark by Baader Planetarium) is only secondly the displacement of the focal point
- A Glaspathcorrector is primarily intended to correct the prismatic color fringing that occurs on Refractors due to the high amount of glasses used in binocular prisms
- Please note: The Baader MaxBright® II Binoviewer with case (#2456460 , € 479,-) is the only Baader-Bino where you can choose between Zeiss ring-dovetail and T-2 thread adapter.

# 2458559
€ 323.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 271.43- Blaze Reflection Gratings 1200 L/mm
- cemented onto Tilting grating holder
- For high resolution observations where the 900 and 1200 gratings are used, Dados (by construction) is expected to provide the best optical performances in a short spectral range (30 nm).
- It needs to be pointed out to any prospective user up front that the 1200L grating has been addded later on some customers insisting demand, for projects that concentrate mainly on the H-alpha region – to attain max resolution there. The 1200L grating however cannot show the full spectrum and the tilting range is limited to H-alpha mainly. In case this restriction is not acceptable, this grating ought not to be part of an order.
