William Optics Guidescope AC 50/200 RotoLock Gold OTA

The guidescope aligns parallel to the main telescope tube, ideally using guide scope rings for easy adjustment. This setup allows for seamless connection of a camera to the guidescope's camera end, enabling automatic tracking control by the mount for capturing long-exposure night sky images.

Cameras suitable for guiding typically feature a 1.25" socket, facilitating easy attachment to the guidescope.
