Versatile Telescope Accessory

The Baader Planetarium FlipMirror II Star Diagonal transforms a single telescope exit port into a multi-use platform for visual observation, astrophotography, and spectroscopy. Its variable adapter types, including thread and dovetail ring clamps, allow seamless integration with various telescope setups. This accessory is designed for avid stargazers and astrophotographers seeking workflow efficiency.

Replaces Manual Equipment Swapping

The FlipMirror II eliminates the need to physically exchange eyepieces, cameras, or spectroscopy gear in the dark, reducing wear on equipment and frustration during sessions. A precision rotary knob enables quick alternation between the rear and top ports. The jump is worth it for users who regularly switch between visual and imaging configurations or run automated sequences.

Check Telescope Compatibility

Verify that your telescope focuser can accommodate the 55-59mm optical length and accepts the provided thread or dovetail ring clamp adapters. Ensure sufficient back focus remains for your specific imaging train or eyepieces after installation. Motorised automation requires an optional toothed belt and a compatible motor, neither of which are included.

Questions about this item

What is the optical path length of the FlipMirror II Star Diagonal?

The optical path length is adjustable between 55 and 59 millimetres, keeping the light path short to reduce vignetting and preserve image quality.

How is the movable mirror aligned during installation?

The mirror is laterally adjustable using the included tools; rotate the fine-adjustment screws until the reflected beam is centred on the rear and top ports, then lock the position.

Which components may need replacement after extended use?

The precision-polished movable mirror surface and the rotary knob mechanism are the primary wear items; both are serviceable by Baader Planetarium if alignment degrades over time.
