Product Overview
The 98mm EXT AUX Ring is a Takahashi M98 extension ring built for the CCA-250's camera train. It connects to the camera rotator through the TKA82595 connector, and the telescope-side M98 sleeves attach to it through the TKA86204 adapter.
Who It's For
This is a good match if you run a CCA-250 and need an additional M98 extension point between the telescope's M98 sleeves and the camera rotator.
Key Features & Design
- M98 thread family: matches the CCA-250's own accessory ring system.
- Connects to the camera rotator: pairs with the TKA82595 connector on the camera side.
- Connects to the telescope's M98 sleeves: pairs with the TKA86204 adapter on the telescope side.
Recommended Uses
Extending a CCA-250 imaging train between its M98 telescope-side sleeves and the camera rotator.
Compatibility and Accessory Notes
Built for the CCA-250, using the TKA82595 connector on the camera-rotator side and the TKA86204 adapter on the telescope side. The Takahashi Back Focus Guide tabulates every Takahashi adapter's light path alongside each telescope's back focus target and is a good starting reference for the rest of your CCA-250 chain.
