Integrated Guiding: Utilize the same telescope for both imaging and guiding without the need for a separate guide scope. The OAGM48 Off-Axis Guider redirects part of the star field to a guiding camera, enhancing the precision of your long-exposure astrophotography.
Optimized Design:
-
Generous Prism Size: Features a 10x10mm prism for ample light capture, ensuring that your guiding camera has enough stars to choose from for accurate tracking.

Minimal Back Focus Usage: Consumes only 17.5mm of back focus, preserving valuable space in your imaging train for other necessary equipment.
Versatile Mounting Options:
-
Compatibility with Filter Wheels: Designed to align perfectly with most existing filter wheels, providing flexibility in your setup. If a filter wheel isn’t used, the included 20mm spacer ensures correct back focus alignment between your primary and guiding cameras.
Precision Focusing:
-
Helical Focuser: Achieve precise, smooth focus adjustments with the built-in helical focuser, crucial for sharp, consistent guiding.
Flexible Configuration:
-
Adaptable Setup: Whether using a filter wheel, a filter holder, or neither, the OAGM48 adapts seamlessly. An included adapter facilitates the correct back focus settings without additional components.
Installation Simplicity:
-
Easy Assembly: The package includes all necessary components for easy integration into your imaging train. Detailed instructions ensure a hassle-free setup, allowing you to focus more on capturing stunning celestial images.
Considerations for Unfiltered Cameras:
-
UV/IR Filter Requirement: If your primary camera lacks a UV/IR cut window, ensure to use a filter wheel or holder with the appropriate filter to maintain the clarity and quality of your star images.
Elevate your astrophotography experience with the OGMA OAG M48 Off-Axis Guider. This tool not only simplifies your setup by eliminating the need for an additional guide scope but also enhances the accuracy and quality of your celestial tracking and imaging.
