Product identity

The Baader Planetarium UFC 2" (M48) Filter Slider is a precision accessory for astrophotography. It accepts cell-mounted 2" (M48) filters and slides into the UFC filter base for quick, secure changes. A click-release on a brass pin frees the holder from its magnetic fixture, keeping each filter held firm during imaging sessions.

Who this suits

Astrophotographers who swap cell-mounted 2" (M48) filters during a session will benefit from the rapid, repeatable action. The design minimises vignetting and stray light, preserving image quality. Users with filters in other thread sizes or unmounted glass cannot use this slider without additional adapters not covered here.

Deciding specification

The slider is built exclusively for the 48 mm (M48) thread standard used on 2" cell-mounted filters. If your filters use a different thread or mount, this unit will not accept them.
