Omegon off-axis guider with microfocus: for outstanding astrophotography without a guide scope

Because sometimes it's better to shoot with an off-axis guider
With an off-axis guider you have perfect astrophotos right at your fingertips. Photos that require long exposure times require exact tracking, such as those guaranteed by this guide, an essential tool for astrophotographers. It will allow you to take home beautiful astrophotographs in a short time.

The advantages at a glance:

It allows you to take beautiful astrophotographs with pinpoint stars
For refractors and SC, Mak and RC telescopes
Off-axis guider with just 24mm overall length - very compact.
Robust and light at the same time: only 180 grams
Free aperture 45 mm: full illumination even for large chips
Micrometric focus: particularly smooth helical focusing with 0.05 mm precision
Backfocus 75mm

Off-axis guidance is an ingenious innovation. This component fits into the camera's 2-inch focuser. A small prism deflects a small amount of light from the telescope into a separate tunnel, where your guide camera or reticle eyepiece is housed. This allows you to immediately correct any tracking errors during the exposure time of the camera. For perfectly round stars!

The grafts
Easy to adjust: The Omegon off-axis guider is equipped on the telescope side with an M48 coupling and an additional sleeve for 2 inch focusers. The accessory set includes three screws and a flat M48 adapter for attaching to your camera. The advantage: you can rotate your camera at any time and find the perfect detail of the celestial body you are shooting.

Precise microfocus with 10 mm travel: for autoguiding and reticle eyepieces
A small prism deflects the light laterally in your guider's control unit into a 1.25-inch helical focuser. Insert your autoguider (an automatic tracking camera) or reticle eyepiece. Thanks to the generous 10 mm stroke, you will find the optimal focus for your guide star. Impressive result: This special helical focuser can be adjusted via a super-precise scale down to 0.05mm. To always quickly find your focus.

Guide scope or off-axis guider?
For many it just depends on personal taste, but there's more. Using long exposure times the position of the spotting scope and telescope optics can have minimal shifts. Even with reflector scopes. An off-axis guider solves this task elegantly, because there is only one optical path and therefore no deflection.
