Dedicated to long time-lapses and nightscapes on ZWO Seestar S50 Pro: shield the primary lens while keeping the wide-angle camera 100% unobstructed.
Protects the 50mm primary objective during wide-field time-lapses, with optional 2" filter adaptation
When running long Milky Way time-lapses, star trails, or nightscape captures on your ZWO Seestar S50 Pro, only the secondary wide-angle sensor is working. Leaving the primary 50 mm lens exposed all night long invites heavy condensation, frost, pollen, and airborne particles for zero optical benefit. Precision manufactured in Cannes, France, the Wide Field Baseplate shields the primary objective while providing an unobstructed, low-profile optical window for wide-field imaging.
🛡️ Primary Objective BarrierFirmly seals and caps the 50 mm triplet objective during wide-angle runs. Protects delicate front anti-reflective coatings from unnecessary dew cycles and airborne contaminants. |
📐 Low-Profile Clear PortThe aperture facing the wide-angle camera is chamfered outward to guarantee zero corner shadowing. Its slim mechanical thickness prevents dew accumulation around the sensor without requiring an extra dew shield. |
For astro-imagers looking to capture expansive Milky Way structures under light-polluted skies or reveal large emission nebulae in narrowband, our 67.4° Tulip Mount snaps onto the baseplate:
1. Kinematic Park Safety System:
2. Optional 2" Filter Tulip:
"Letting your expensive 50mm primary triplet soak in cold nighttime moisture while you run a 6-hour Milky Way time-lapse with the secondary camera is unnecessary wear. This baseplate caps the main lens safe and dry. And for experimental shooters, the optional tulip lets you screw a 2-inch H-Alpha or Dual-Band filter in front of the wide camera without vignetting."
