Lumicon Off-Axis-Guider Easy 1.25"

The Lumicon Easy Guider stands out as one of the premier astrophotography tools on the market today, offering the widest field of view for guide cameras.

With its sleek, low-profile design and large pick-off prism, the Easy Guider simplifies the process of selecting bright guide stars. By utilizing telescope optics directly, it ensures pinpoint guiding accuracy, surpassing the performance of traditional guide scopes that may flex in relation to the main telescope.

Advantages of Off-Axis Guiding:

1. Same light path as the imaging detector, eliminating differential flexure/slop effects common in auxiliary guide scopes.
2. Mitigates errors caused by differential flexure, which can be more detrimental than the corrections required.
3. Addresses image shifting due to primary mirror "flop" in telescopes with moving primary mirrors (such as SCTs).
4. Operates at the same focal length as the main imaging camera, ensuring optimal effectiveness.
5. May require an extension piece for use with SLR cameras.
