It has been documented that the GSO Ritchey–Chrétien telescopes (and associated brands - Orion, iOptron, Astro-Tech, Apertura, TPO and others) suffer from aberrant light directly reaching the camera sensor, causing reflections and the inability to take sufficient flat frames.  These baffle extensions eliminate this problem.

For more information, please see this Youtube video.

This is version 2 of the baffle extensions.  Version 2 is printed in a carbon fiber PETG filament that is both stronger and less brittle than version 1, and has a more matte finish. The printed color is a charcoal gray that is a little darker than the baffle tube. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:
-These baffle extensions are intended for GSO RC scopes made prior late 2019 only. These telescopes have a baffle that has a two-step design on the side facing the secondary mirror.
-For RC truss telescopes made between late 2019 and mid-2022, GSO added a tapered screw-on extension to the original baffle. If you have one of these scopes, you do NOT need this baffle extension.
-For RC truss telescopes made after mid-2022, GSO redesigned the baffle completely and these have a single, straight baffle. If you have one of these scopes, you do NOT need this baffle extension.
