Overview

The Player One M68 Adapter is a machined aluminum 6061-T6 ring made for the FHD-OAG MAX off-axis guider. It provides an M68 threaded interface so the FHD-OAG MAX can connect to an M68-threaded telescope or flattener. It is a purely mechanical part with no glass and no electronics.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you own the Player One FHD-OAG MAX and need to mate it to an optical train that presents an M68 thread.

Key Features & Design

  • M68 threaded interface: provides an M68 connection point for the FHD-OAG MAX.
  • Made for the FHD-OAG MAX: designed specifically to fit that off-axis guider.
  • Aluminum 6061-T6 body: light, corrosion-resistant, and dimensionally stable.
  • Fully mechanical: no optical elements and no electrical connection.

Recommended Uses

Use it to connect the FHD-OAG MAX to an M68-threaded telescope rear cell or flattener as part of a cooled-camera imaging train.

Compatibility & Accessory Notes

The adapter is intended for the Player One FHD-OAG MAX and an M68 optical interface. If you want to confirm the M68 thread pitch matches your telescope or flattener before ordering, send us the model and we will check it with you.

Good to Know Before You Order

  • Mechanical adapter only: it carries no optical elements and passes no electronic signal.
  • Made for the FHD-OAG MAX: it is a dedicated ring for that off-axis guider rather than a general-purpose adapter.
  • M68 interface: the mating optics need a matching M68 thread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — it threads onto the FHD-OAG MAX and its M68 mating part by hand.

What is it best used for?

Connecting the Player One FHD-OAG MAX to an M68-threaded telescope or flattener.

Does it contain any optics?

No. It is a bare mechanical ring with no lenses or coatings.

Bottom Line

In short: a dedicated machined aluminum M68 ring that connects the Player One FHD-OAG MAX to an M68-threaded telescope or flattener.
