Askar 52 mm f/4 Guide Scope for the Finder Shoe

Long-exposure deep-sky images are not possible without precise tracking and guiding. The 52 mm f/4 guide scope allows precise guiding control via a suitable guiding camera. The guide scope fits into commercially available finder shoes such as those from TS-Optics, GSO, Vixen or Skywatcher and does not weigh significantly more than a commercially available 50 mm finder.

The guide scope is light, compact and above all stable. It weighs only 630 grams. Helical focusing is used for focusing, whereby the lens is adjusted as with a camera lens. When the desired focus position is reached, the focus is fixed using a knurled ring. The rear part with the T2 and 1.25" mount is permanently connected to the adapter for the finder shoe. This provides additional rigidity and flexibility. The field of view can also be adjusted using three knurled screws if an optimum guide star is located just outside the field of the autoguider.

The guide scope is suitable for all tracking cameras with a T2 connection. A 1.25" adapter is required for guiding cameras with 1.25" barrel, i.e. the MINI versions.
