You may have many different instruments to insert into a telescope focuser: eyepieces, cameras, spectrographs, etc. Unfortunately every telescope just features one exit port. This causes relentless manual exchange of parts in the dark, causing huge time loss, wear on the parts, etc. The FlipMirror II allows you to use the rotary knob to switch between the rear port and the top port. An autoguider or a calibration lamp can be connected to the bottom port.
Baader FlipMirror II comes in the box with many adapters to let you connect different cameras and instruments. It is compatible with a large number of adapters and the UFC system (Universal Filter Changer).
Baader FlipMirror II has a precise surface-mirrored flip mirror with multi-layer Al coating, for high-resolution images with cameras with small pixels. The back of the flip mirror is also Al coated and masked to direct the light of an optional calibration lamp onto the slit of a spectrograph.
