Omegon Off-Axis-Guider Advanced T2

Omegon advanced off-axis guider - star guiding made easy

The Omegon off-axis guider offers a simple way of accurately guiding your telescope when taking astrophotos. It is not then absolutely necessarily to have a large and heavy guide scope, as this does the job more simply. Do you want your telescope to only carry a small additional load and to avoid it being overloaded?

The off-axis guider is extremely compactly built and weighs only 200 grams. This means that it is in the most suitable method for guiding when using smaller telescopes or mounts.

The off-axis guider works very simply

The off-axis guider is simply attached and locked into your 2" focuser. It has a T-2 thread on the camera side - the standard for the problem-free attachment of your camera. If you photograph using a DSLR, then you only need the correct T-ring in addition - that is all.

As the light passes through the off-axis guider, a small part is diverted via a small prism on the side. A 1.25" crosshair eyepiece or auto-guider can be inserted into the guider. You will then be able to start guiding just as soon as you have located a suitable guide star in the field of view.

Long exposures - punctiform astrophotos

You will have already seen a host of beautiful astrophotos - magnificent galaxies with impressive spiral arms, luminous red hydrogen nebulae, globular clusters with their uncountable stars looking as if bedded on velvet. All these photos are the result of long exposures - photos which you can also take with the help of an off-axis guider.

You can now precisely control the guiding and thereby achieve deep sky photographs with perfectly punctiform stars.

The advantages in a nutshell:

• off-axis guider for punctiform astrophotos
• weight-saving: weighs only 200 grams
• easy connection to the telescope via 2" connector
• T-2 thread for connecting a camera
• for punctiform guiding of your astrophotos
• for auto-guiders with T2
