Miniguide tube to fastly find object and guiding star that designed for visual and astrophotography; worm-focuser: fast focusing and prevent rotation of camera and eyepiece; use as comfortable and large viewfinder with less time to find object in visual;
200 mm focal length: design for astrophotography telescope up to 1500 mm focal length; wide field optics put so potential guide star; an locking thumbscrew holding in place; built in hex screws in holes that tighten two hex screws with hex wrench to lock;
Fits factory drilled holes on Celestron; Meade; and Orion Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes; attaches directly to Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope "SCT" optical tube with included mounting hardware
Versatile Zoom Functionality: 8-24mm zoom eyepiece provides steplessly variable focal length to use different magnifications anywhere between 8 and 24mm; concentrate on using one eyepiece and keep object in view while slowly increasing the magnification
Advanced Aspherical Glass Design: Featuring premium aspherical glass lenses with 6-element fully multi-coated technology; effectively reduces image distortion and aberrations for providing clearer high-contrast and wider view of astronomical picture
Description
This small Guidingscope handles all the tasks of a "classic" Leitfernrohrs - but it is lighter and much easier to use! Previously used to long and large Leitfernrohre to find a guiding star. Eliminate the need to! The sensitivity of modern astro imagers is on your side. The Mini-Guidesope set as a viewfinder on your telescope.The 50mm Guide Scope is a complete and compact guide scope solution designed for use with nearly each autoguider and CCD camera in the market. The Guide Scope is ideal for guiding long-exposure astrophotographs with imaging telescopes up to 1500mm in focal length. Consisting of a 50mm aperture, 190mm focal length achromatic refractor guide scope, an adjustable dovetail guide scope bracket, an 1.25" aluminum parfocal ring, a dovetail mounting base, and an adapter plate, the 50mm Guide Scope makes it easy for any astro-imager to enjoy the precision of autoguiding in their images. All this pint-sized setup requires is a StarShoot AutoGuider or similar small-chip CCD autoguider and it's ready for night, camera, action! The guide scope bracket fits into the standard dovetail finder scope base found on most telescopes. If your imaging scope doesn't feature a dovetail base or has one already occupied by an oft-used finder, the dovetail base(not include)and attachment hardware lets you attach the 50mm Guide Scope to any optical tube. Alternatively, the included adapter plate can be used to attach the dovetail base and 50mm Guide Scope to any standard dovetail plate or side-by-side plate if preferred.
