About this item

  • 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: Only off axis guider that can be used between coma corrector or field flattener and dslr camera no leaving tolerance distance between camera and corrector 2: Off axis guider provide space for filter wheel or filter drawer when using cooled ccd camera
  • Place OAG behind corrector: used between corrector and camera; use an off axis guider in front of corrector is not useful; distance on both optical paths are different and might even get focusing problems with main camera; behind corrector avoid problems
  • Large Clear Aperture: shorter overall length; larger clear aperture; T2 keyhole can be avoided; result in better illumination for large sensor cameras up to 45mm diagonal; load for mount is reduced; no need for guide scope and setup remain more compact
  • Off Axis Guider comes complete with adapter required for 2 inch focuser; if no autoguider is to be connected; we also have T2-rings in our product range for optical path compensation; depending on the length required; they are 7.5 10 15 and 40mm

Off-Axis Guider - Tracking the stars the easy way

An off-axis guider provides an easy way of guiding the telescope for taking your astronomy photos. You do not need to mount a large and heavy guide scope, as this is easier - especially if your telescope cannot withstand much additional loading.

The off-axis guider is extremely compact and relatively lightweight. It is therefore also well suited for your photography using smaller telescopes / mounts.

It has a T2 thread on the camera side - standard for the easy adaptation of your camera. To take photos with a DSLR camera, you only need a matching T-ring - and that's everything.

When the light passes through the off-axis guider, a small amount is deflected via a small lateral prism. An additional opening now lets you use your reticule eyepiece or an auto guider. You can then get started immediately after you have found a suitable guide star in the field of view.

An off-axis guider provides an easy way of guiding the telescope for taking your astronomy photos. 2'' nosepiece with safety groove to stop lens falling out.
