Astromania Deluxe Off-Axis Guider for Astrophotography
Asin: B01B2OR7HG | Model: SKU_AM_ZGDO | PartNumber: SKU_AM_ZGDO | Ean: 6970019292373
Place The Oag Behind The Corrector: The Astromania Oag Is Used Between The Corrector And The Camera. Using An Off Axis Guider In Front Of The Corrector Is Not Useful. The Guide Star Would Be Distorted, The Distances On Both Optical Paths Are Too Different And You Might Even Get Focusing Problems With The Main Camera. Behind The Corrector You Can Avoid These Problems, But This Only Works Due To He Low Profile Of The Astromania Oag!.
The Off-Axis Guider Comes Complete With The Adapter Required For A 2" Focuser. If No Autoguider, But Rather A Reticle, Is To Be Connected, Then This Adapter Or This Adapter Is Required. We Also Have T2-Rings In Our Product Range For Optical Path Compensation. Depending On The Length Required, They Are: 7.5Mm, 10Mm, 15Mm And 40Mm..
Large Clear Aperture: Compared With Many Simpler Guiders The Astromania Oag Not Only Has A Shorter Overall Length, But Also A Larger Clear Aperture. A "T2 Keyhole" Can Be Avoided, Resulting In Better Illumination For Large Sensor Cameras Up To 45Mm Diagonal.The Load For The Mount Is Much Reduced. There Is No Need For A Guide Scope And The Setup Will Remain More Compact. You Work With The Main Telescope's Resolution And Focal Length, Not With The Typically Lower Resolution Of A Guide Scope..
1) Can Be Used With Correctors & Dslr: The Only Off Axis Guider That Can Be Used Between A Coma Corrector (Or Field Flattener) And A Dslr Camera Without Leaving The Tolerance For The Distance Between Camera And Corrector. 2) Can Be Used With Cooled Ccd Cameras: The Off Axis Guider Provides Enough Space For Filter Wheels Or Filter Drawers When Using Cooled Ccd Cameras..
Features
- The new Astromania Off Axis Guider is the lowest profile off axis guider that we know. Despite this no compromise has been made with the function and operating comfort of this versatile Off Axis Guider. mechanical flexure between main and guiding telescope can possibly ruin the tracking accuracy if you use an off axis guider.
- 1) Can be used with correctors & DSLR: The only Off Axis Guider that can be used between a coma corrector (or field flattener) and a DSLR camera without leaving the tolerance for the distance between camera and corrector. 2) Can be used with cooled CCD cameras: The off axis guider provides enough space for filter wheels or filter drawers when using cooled CCD cameras.
- Place the OAG behind the corrector: The Astromania OAG is used between the corrector and the camera. Using an off axis guider in front of the corrector is not useful. The guide star would be distorted, the distances on both optical paths are too different and you might even get focusing problems with the main camera. Behind the corrector you can avoid these problems, but this only works due to he low profile of the Astromania OAG!
- Large Clear Aperture: Compared with many simpler guiders the Astromania OAG not only has a shorter overall length, but also a larger clear aperture. A T2 keyhole can be avoided, resulting in better illumination for large sensor cameras up to 45mm diagonal.The load for the mount is much reduced. There is no need for a guide scope and the setup will remain more compact. You work with the main telescope's resolution and focal length, not with the typically lower resolution of a guide scope.
- The Off-Axis Guider comes complete with the adapter required for a 2 focuser. If no autoguider, but rather a reticle, is to be connected, then this Adapter or this Adapter is required. We also have T2-rings in our product range for optical path compensation. Depending on the length required, they are: 7.5mm, 10mm, 15mm and 40mm.
