Guiding camera ALccd5
At Kiripotib, you can rent additional equipment such as the Alccd5 guiding camera.
The control of the camera does NOT work with NETbooks/Atom processors!
If you need a complete autoguiding system, simply combine the ALccd5 with our guiding telescope for optics up to 900mm focal length
Guiding scope (for optics up to 900mm focal length)
It adapts to all current guiding cameras (e.g. Lodestar, MGEN, ALccd) thanks to its wide focusing range. Focusing is performed via a sliding focuser with 20 mm stroke and a subsequent helical focuser (camera does not rotate) with 10 mm stroke. Both focusers can be clamped and are equipped with millimetre scales.
Your guiding camera can be connected either via a T2 female thread or a 1 1/4″ eyepiece sleeve.
Included in the rental package are 3 prism rails for:
Standard finder shoes, 2″ and 3″ dovetail clamps.
Of course, you can also rent our ALccd5.2 guiding camera in addition.
This way you have a complete autoguiding system.
