TS-Optics Universal Guiding Set TSL501M-AG for Astrophotography
Teleskop-Service offers a complete set, consisting of a compact mini guide scope and a powerful autoguiding camera, for long exposures with your telescope. This complete solution is easily to install and allows automatic active guiding, also called autoguiding. We recommend the set for guiding camera lenses and telescopes up to 8" aperture.

The adaptation to your telescope is very simple. You don´t need a complex piggyback construction, as the mini guide scope fits directly into the finder shoe of your telescope. Just remove the finder, insert the guide scope and you are ready to go. If you don´t want to remove your finder or do not have a standard finder shoe, we offer suitable finder shoes, for example for attaching to a tube ring.

The TSL501M-AG is very well suited for guiding of camera lenses. With the Guidemount, we offer a compact and above all lightweight mounting option for your camera with lens and, in parallel, for the TS guiding set TSL501M-AG. With this, you have an ultra-mobile astrophotography equipment which can be supported by small mounts and is also optimal for air travel.

Before the first use for guiding, please install camera drivers and any autoguiding software on your Windows computer or notebook. The autoguider software is not included in the scope of delivery. The camera is, among others, suitable for PHD Guiding, Guidedog, Metaguide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, MaxIm DL (with costs).

A suggestion: with the ASIAIR, the ASI120Mini and your smartphone turn into a fine autoguider which also works without computer, with higher sensitivity and resolution than the previous "stand-alone" autoguiders ... for really little money - simply calculate and compare.

Step by step to perfect autoguiding:
Attach the guiding set to the main tube via a dovetail clamp or use a dual mount (see accessory recommendations).
Connect the guiding camera to the mount. Use the ST-4 autoguider port of your mount.
Connect the guiding cam to your Windows computer.
Focus the camera by using the focuser of the guide scope - and you are ready to begin with astrophotography.


The astro camera ZWO ASI120MM mini is more than just an autoguider.
The camera can also be used well for imaging moon and planets and even brighter deep-sky objects. You can attach the camera to your telescope simply like a 1.25" eyepiece, focus and start right away. Comprehensive image processing aoftware is included in the scope of delivery.

"Entspricht so ziemlich genau dem, was ich auch erwartet habe, robuste Ausführung. Die Fokussierung gelingt zwar, ist aber etwas umständlich. Erfüllt als Leitfernrohr tadellos seinen Dienst. Kleiner Kritikpunkt: Im Vergleich zu etwas teureren Produkten werden die Sterne nicht ganz so scharf abgebildet. Dieses lässt sich aber über die Belichtungszeit problemlos korrigieren. In Bezug auf das Preis-Leitungsverhältnis kann ich das Produkt nur empfehlen. "

"Funktioniert einwandfrei"

"Gelungenes, kleines Leitrohrset. Die Kamera ist super empfindlich, so lassen sich überall Leitsterne finden. Die Sucherhalterung ist von den üblichen 9x50 Suchern aus Fernost bekannt. Für mich eine gelungene Verbindung zwischen Teleskop und Leitrohr. Allerdings Frage ich mich, warum der verkürzte Suchertubus verwendet wird. Mit der Asi 120 mini kommeich so nur in den Fokus, wenn ich die Kamera mit den letzten Millimetern fixiere. Hatte noch einen Skywatcher-Standard-Sucher rumliegen, da kann die kleine Asi bis fast zum Anschlag rein und gut ist. Funktionieren tut das aber auch mit dem kurzen Suchetubus. Nach der ersten Fotosession mit dem kleinen Leitrohrset möchte ich es schon nicht mehr missen."

"Das Guideing Set bestehend aus dem 50mm Leitrohr und der ZWO ASIMini120 konnte erfolgreich an einer iOptron SmartEQpro+ Montierung in Betrieb genommen werden. Als Guideing Computer wurde ein RaspberryPi3 mit der linguider Software verwendet. Sämtliches Montagematerial und alle Kabel sind bereits Teil des Sets. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die gewöhnungsbedürftige Art das Leitrohr zu fokussieren. "
