The BBHS® prisms can also be screwed directly onto the focuser or accessories to provide an especially tilt-proof and short optical path connection. Even a 2\" filter can be inserted permanently into the eyepiece-side of the 2\" nose-piece, so that you can still use the 2\" filter thread on the telescope side as usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to simple prisms, Baader prisms use an additional BBHS® silver layer that is elaborately sealed against corrosion. This layer is responsible for the outstanding brilliance and richer colours compared to simpler prisms. BBHS® is an abbreviation for Broad Band Hard Silver; the silver layer is stabilized long-term by a hard protective coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBBHS® provieds a much broader spectral range with 98-99% reflexion from just above 390nm to 2000nm, and it maintains high reflectivity even with varying viewing angles – the silver layer produces no stray light whatsoever. A trained eye will especially see a greater colour range when using short focal length APO refractors. Particularly in planetary observation at the highest magnifications, a noticeable increase in colour intensity can be easily observed compared to all previous coatings. Additionally, a clear increase in contrast is noticeable due to the absence of any stray light. Together with the CNC-milled aluminium housings, this ensures extremely fast temperature adaptation and image stability. As a general guideline, prisms are recommended for telescopes with a focal ratio of about f\/6 to f\/7 or slower, while  BBHS® mirrors are preferable for faster optical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the sealed BBHS®rear-surface coating, the prisms feature the proven Phantom Coating® Group anti-reflection treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precisely fitting 2\" ClickLock® eyepiece clamp securely holds even heavy accessories with a simple 20° twist. By cleverly using leverage, the clamping force is multiplied many times. The inserted accessory is held on three sides, similar to a quick-release chuck, preventing any tilting movement. Every eyepiece or measuring device is automatically aligned parallel to the optical axis – even in the case of diameter tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BBHS® Prism is mounted in a CNC-machined aluminium housing and rests stress-free on an adjustable cradle. Just like a high-quality refractor objective, the prism can also be collimated. This allows the realisation of fully adjustable systems, for example for the construction of binocular telescopes. As with a premium refractor, you will not need to change the collimation during normal use: the 3-point alignment is set at our factory so that the image shows no noticeable rotation around its centre when the star diagonal is rotated by 180° in a correctly aligned eyepiece clamp. Optical and mechanical axes are perfectly matched on our optical test benches. Therefore, make sure to rule out all other potential sources of error – such as a tilted focuser – before adjusting the collimation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a BBHS®Prism leaves our factory, the optical and mechanical axes are aligned rotationally symmetrically with each other on the optical bench. Please note that once the collimation is changed, the warranty on the factory collimation of the BBHS® prism becomes void. All other warranty coverage remains unaffected.  Should you notice immediately after purchase that the optical axis is not correct, please contact the dealer from whom you bought the device without delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 333.094px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBaader Planetarium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSKU (#)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2456118 - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e4047825059031\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWeight (kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e0.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eStar Diagonal Prism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eInner Connection (lens sided)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eM482\"\/SCT Thread (50.8mm)M55\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eOuter Connection (lens sided)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e2\" (50.8mm)S58\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eInner Connection (eyepiece\/-camera-sided)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e2\" (50.8mm)M55\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eReflection surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eBBHS coated, Dielectrically protected\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eAR-Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePhantom Coating® Group\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eImage Orientation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eErect image, Mirror inverted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eOptical length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eClamping System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eClickLock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDeflection angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e90°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.3446%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eInner Diameter \/ Clear Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45.5365%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e47\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Baader Planetarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48590912848124,"sku":"2456118","price":765.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/files\/2456118_bbhs-2inch-prism_side_1.jpg?v=1765309845","url":"https:\/\/all-startelescope.com\/products\/baader-2-bbhs%c2%ae-prism-adjustable-star-diagonal-2456118","provider":"All-Star Telescope Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
