ZWO Tilt Adapter M68

The ZWO Tilt Adapter M68 is an essential tool for demanding astrophotographers who want perfect corner-to-corner sharpness in their field of view. This adapter enables precise correction of minor tilts between camera and telescope. This prevents blurriness, asymmetrical star points, or the need to crop corners during post-processing.

Common problems such as a misaligned sensor, slightly tilted focuser, or deviations in the image plane of Newtonian telescopes can lead to distortions in just one or two corners of your image. This tilt adapter offers a mechanical solution: you can correct the camera’s image plane relative to the optical path, regardless of the source of deviation.

Adjustment is done manually using three adjustment screws and lock screws. By making targeted adjustments based on test shots, you can achieve perfect field flattening step by step. The tilt adapter adds only 5mm optical length, making it suitable for systems with limited back focus.

Key features
✓ Resolves corner softness and tilt of sensor or focuser
✓ Highly suitable for Newtonian telescopes and complex setups
✓ For precise chip alignment in deep-sky and H-alpha photography
✓ Prevents loss of detail or forced image cropping
✓ Adjustable with set screws, locking via lock screws
✓ Only 5mm optical length – minimal impact on back focus

Application
The ZWO Tilt Adapter M68 is ideal for photographers using full-frame or APS-C sensors in combination with fast Newtonians or refractors. This adapter also helps minimize Newton rings in H-alpha solar photography. With one-time calibration, you can correct the entire image plane and structurally improve image quality.
