About this product

The baffle tube of the GSO-manufactured RCs (StellaLyra/TS) is very generously calculated. However, with very large sensors, scattered light can pass the secondary mirror through the baffle tube into the camera’s direction. The result is a brightening of the image or, in the worst case, even curved reflections.

This light shade reduces the front diameter of the baffle tube a little and thus prevents the penetration of stray light. The contrast is increased. Nevertheless, the free opening is large enough to illuminate full-format sensors.

Installation of the shade is straightforward. It is put on the baffle tube and carefully fixed with the three grub screws. The screws only need to be tightened moderately. They only prevent the shade from falling off the baffle tube.
