    The Explore Scientific M48x1 Adapter is a wide-thread telescope camera adapter that connects the FFEDAPO field flattener to your camera using the M48x1 (wide-T / 2-inch filter) thread. The larger 48mm opening reduces vignetting on full-frame and APS-C sensors, making it the preferred choice for wide-field astrophotography with an Explore Scientific ED APO refractor and the FFEDAPO flattener.

    Who it's for

    Astrophotographers imaging with larger (full-frame or APS-C) cameras who want the widest possible clear aperture through the FFEDAPO field flattener to keep corners bright and evenly illuminated.

    Key features

    • M48x1 (wide-T) male thread for M48 T-rings and 2" filters
    • Wider 48mm path reduces vignetting on full-frame sensors
    • Designed specifically for the ES FFEDAPO field flattener
    • Machined metal for a secure, precise imaging connection

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the M48-1 adapter thread? It uses the M48x1mm thread, commonly called the wide-T thread and shared with 2-inch astronomy filters.

    Should I choose M48 or M42 for my camera? Choose M48x1 for full-frame or APS-C sensors to minimize vignetting; the narrower M42x0.75 (T2) is fine for smaller sensors.

    What does it connect to? It attaches the Explore Scientific FFEDAPO field flattener to an M48 camera T-ring for flat-field astrophotography.
