M117 to M117 Extension Tube – 50mm
The Dark Clear Skies M117 to M117 50mm Extension Tube is a precision-machined spacer designed for large-format astrophotography imaging systems requiring accurate back focus spacing.

Featuring M117×1 male threads on both ends, this extension tube is intended for use with large reducers, flatteners, camera adapters, and filter systems commonly found in professional and observatory-class imaging setups. The 50mm optical length allows reliable coarse spacing adjustments while maintaining rigidity and alignment.
Manufactured from high-quality aluminium alloy and internally blackened, the tube minimises reflections and preserves contrast when used in demanding deep-sky imaging configurations.
