One face threads onto the drawtube; the other accepts the T-ring for your camera brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you're connecting a DSLR or mirrorless camera through a wide T-mount to a Takahashi refractor on the M55.9 drawtube standard. Takahashi names the Sky-90 and FSQ-85EDX directly, and the same M55.9 thread also appears on the FS-78, FS-60C and FC-60E.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM55.9 x 0.75 female, telescope side:\u003c\/strong\u003e threads directly onto the drawtube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM54 x 0.75 female, camera side:\u003c\/strong\u003e accepts Takahashi's Wide Mount T-ring system for DSLR and mirrorless bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTakahashi part TKA35201 (CA35):\u003c\/strong\u003e the manufacturer's own camera-adapter-ring designation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it for prime-focus DSLR or mirrorless imaging through a Takahashi refractor's M55.9 drawtube, paired with the Wide Mount T-ring for your camera brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTakahashi documents this ring for the Sky-90 and FSQ-85EDX, and for the FS-78, FS-60C and FC-60E, all of which share the M55.9 x 0.75 drawtube thread. It steps that drawtube thread down to M54 x 0.75 on the camera side, where it takes the Wide Mount T-ring rather than a camera body directly — so plan on ordering the T-ring matched to your mount separately.
