Celestron Off-Axis-Guider Deluxe

This off-axis guider revolutionizes tracking accuracy, particularly with long focal length telescopes.

Utilizing a prism, it diverts a small portion of light from the telescope's focal plane—beyond the primary camera's field of view—allowing tracking via a guide star. The guide star's movements mirror those seen by the main camera precisely. This setup ensures autoguiding corrects tracking errors without interference from guide scope tube issues like sagging or warping, resulting in impeccably sharp stars.

Celestron's off-axis guider boasts:

• A multi-coated 12.5mm prism with an aluminum-coated back for optimal reflection and bright autoguider images.
• A helical focuser with fixed orientation, facilitating straightforward, accurate, and precise autoguider focusing.
• 48mm of clear aperture, accommodating full-frame cameras sans vignetting.
• An adapter ensuring correct spacing for SLR, Nightscape CCD cameras, and other typical astrophotography cameras.
• Compatibility with Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescopes.

The package includes all essential adapters and spacers for various configurations, including DSLR cameras and Nightscape CCD cameras. Adapter types comprise SCT/EdgeHD, M48(female), T2(female), M48(male), T2(male), and three T2-threaded spacers.
