  • Model: Orion 80mm f/11.4 Refractor Tube Assembly

Review Orion 80mm f/11.4 Refractor Tube Assembly / ORION:

This quality 80mm refractor makes the perfect guide scope for doing long-exposure astrophotography. The 80mm-diameter air-spaced achromatic lens has a focal length of 910mm (f/11. 4) and provides plenty of light collection for targeting faint guide stars. Multicoatings keep light loss from reflection to a minimum. The rack-and-pinion focuser (1. 25") is made of aluminum and features a focus lock knob. The aluminum tube is finished in glass black enamel and has an aluminum dew/glare shield. Six internal baffles prevent internal glare and provide great image contrast. No finder scope, diagonal, eyepiece, or guide scope rings are included. We recommend purchase of #7831 Guide Scope Rings and #7382 Guide Scope Mounting Bar for attachment of guide scope to SkyView Pro or Atlas mounts.

Key features ORION
  • Finally, an easy-to-use, affordable autoguider for long-exposure astrophotography
  • Compact housing measures just 2.5" x 2.35" and weighs a mere 4.4 oz.

  • Model: Orion StarShoot AutoGuider

Review Orion StarShoot AutoGuider / ORION:

The Orion StarShoot AutoGuider's sensor is a high-resolution, 1/2" format 1. 3-megapixel CMOS monochrome chip, with 5. 2µ x 5. 2µ pixels for highly accurate guiding. That high accuracy due to the small pixel size means you can use the AutoGuider with smaller, less expensive guide scopes than is possible with other guide cameras (such as the now-discontinued ST-4). The chip resides in a super-compact, anodized aluminum housing that measures just 2. 5" wide by 2. 35" long and weighs a mere 4. 4 oz. It has a 1. [+]
25" nosepiece that can be removed to access a T-thread interface. And the AutoGuider's short inward focus requirement of only 15mm from a typical 1. 25" Plössl eyepiece makes it compatible with virtually any telescope. The StarShoot AutoGuider's incredible ease of use will appeal to beginning and experienced astrophotographers alike. The included software requires no previous knowledge of autoguiding. It offers automatic calibration and guiding with literally a single mouse click. The camera is powered via your computer's high-speed USB 2. 0 connection with the included 10' USB cable; no other power source is needed. A 6' RJ-12 cable is also included to connect the AutoGuider to the mount without the need for an additional RS-232 adapter. With the StarShoot AutoGuider, precision autoguiding for deep-sky astrophotography is now easier and more economical than ever. Get one today for your imaging setup! One-year limited warranty. Requires PC running Windows 2000, XP or Vista 32-bit.

  • Model: Deluxe Off-Axis Guider

Review Deluxe Off-Axis Guider / ORION:

Designed for deep-sky imaging with Schmidt-Cassegrain and refractor telescopes, the Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider lets you image and guide simultaneously through a single telescope. This also eliminates tracking problems such as differential flexure and mirror shift that commonly occur when using a separate guide scope. The imaging camera sees the same movement the autoguider sees, resulting in highly accurate tracking for pinpoint stars. Prism tilt adjustment with captive thumbscrew and more than 100 degrees of radial movement allow for easy guide star acquisition. Coarse and helical fine focus adjustments make focusing easy and accurate. The Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider can be used with most imaging cameras, including DSLRs, and telescopes with sufficient inward focus travel (requires 59mm). Three different lengths of threaded T-extensions are included (7mm, 17mm, 30mm) to accomodate different camera/guider combinations. Not recommended for use with Newtonian reflectors due to their limited focus travel. One-year warranty.

  • Model: Celestron Radial Guider Schmidt-Cassegrains

Review Celestron Radial Guider Schmidt-Cassegrains / Celestron 94176:

Specifically for use in prime focus, deep-sky imaging or astrophotography with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, the Radial Guider is compact and sleek in design. This accessory makes it possible to simultaneously photograph and guide through the optical tube assembly of your telescope. The Radial Guider also eliminates the problem of differential flexure, because you're both guiding and photographing through the telescope. The Radial Guider is compatible with Celestron's C5, C8, C9¼, C11 and C14 telescopes and comes with a unique prism angle adjustment screw. It must be used with a guiding eyepiece, camera T-Ring and drive corrector (dual axis preferred). Primarily for use with catadioptric telescopes, but also works on refractor telescopes having adequate back focus. This guider is a tremendous improvement over conventional off-axis guilders. Not only is the angle of the prism tunable, but it also maintains a fixed rigid camera orientation while still offering users the freedom to move the guiding eyepiece radially about 135°.
