The only Newtonian Coma Corrector that does not change (increase) the focal length of the telescope in anyway. f4 Newton optics will remain f/4!
Note: The letter “S” in the item number defines in which section of the Baader-Product price list this specific item can be found.
Features of the MPCC:
• No increase in f/ratio
• Highest transmission
• Most versatile
• Use visually and photographically
• Easy to use
• The best price/quality value
Large, fast parabolic mirrors are desirable for deep sky photography and observation because they offer lowpower wide field views. However, the main problem with fast parabolic mirrors is that they introduce coma(and to a lesser degree, astigmatism). Coma is distortion of star images near the edge of the field that
reduces the size of the usable field of view. To eliminate coma, several companies have introduced comacorrectors, lenses that are placed near the focus point and reduce the severity of the coma. The problem isthat most of these increase the telescope’s f/ratio and focal length.
The Multipurpose Coma Corrector (MPCC) virtually eliminates coma without increasing the focal ratio of yourtelescope. This unique lens design utilizes a multi-coating on all air-to-glass surfaces to allow 98%transmission (transmission peaks in the hydrogen-alpha region of the spectrum). Although the MPCC isoptimized for f/4.5 mirrors, it works well with mirrors from f/4 to f/6. Stars remain 12 micron dots over theentire field. In addition, the MPCC can be used both visually and photographically.
The Multipurpose Coma Corrector is the most versatile coma corrector available today. The MPCC fitsvirtually all 2” focusers and off-axis guiders.

“The Multipurpose Coma Corrector has turned a rarely used f/4 Newtonian RFT into a well-corrected wide field photographic instrument. The star images across the frame are excellent.”

These four parts complement the MPCC for visual use
- It is their purpose to provide the proper 55mm (+/- 1mm) spacing between the bottom surface of theMPCC T-2-thread and the “film”-plane or the eyepiece field stop.
1) #15 Reducer 2” /T-2 (S08/2408190)Works as eyepiece holder and spacer in this visual MPCC – combo of parts.
At tention : Note that the top collar of this unit carries a removable T-2 collar. When removed, a male T-2thread is being released for adaptation of a DSLR-camera and T-Rings. This can be used for eyepieceprojection, as well, by adding appropriate T-2 spacer tubes.

MPCC-VIP (S30/2458402)MPCC-VA combo ready to insert into Dobsonians foruse with regular 1¼“ eyepieces (with the MPCC 2“Stopper collar removed), but including #29 Extension
Ring, to provide proper optical spacing (55mm) for„regular“ 1¼“ eyepieces as detailed above.

removed to provide proper optical distance (about48mm) between MPCC lensgroup and eyepiecefieldstop.

2) 14mm Finetuning-Ring(S27/2958214)to enable correct optical distancefor visual use of MPCC with allregular 1¼” eyepieces which
have their fieldstop at the jointbetween eyepiece and chromesleeve.
This is the same 14mm Fine-tuning Ring that fastens into ourHyperion eyepieces for fine-tuning their focal length. It has 2”outer diameter and male andfemale 2” (M48) filter thread.These rings may also be com-bined to work as 2” nosepiece,for extending existing eyepiece-sleeves or nosepieces of 2”
4) #29 Expand ing Ring T-2/M48(S08/2458110)Works as “spacer” to adjustproper optical distance to havethe MPCC in the correct optical
position for all eyepieces whichhave their fieldstop exactly at the joint where the chrome eyepiecebarrel threads into the eyepiecebody.
This ring must be taken out of thesystem of parts, if the eyepiece tobe used has its fieldstop inside ofthe eyepiece body itself – e.g. our35mm ED-eyepiece, having thefieldstop 7mm above the upperend of the chrome sleeve.
3) 28mm Finetuning-Ring(S27/2958228)This ring provides correctspacing for the MPCC for usewith all Tele Vue eyepieces
which have their field stop 7mmmoved forward inside of the 1¼”chrome sleeve.
The same ring provides theproper optical distance for TeleVue Panoptic 2” eyepieces, for2” Extreme eyepieces 35mm and30mm, for Pentax XL eyepiecesas well as a number of other 2”eyepiece designs.
