TS-Optics 60 mm finder and guide scope

The 60 mm guide scope from TS Optics is a fast guiding solution for astrophotographers who are looking for a compact guide scope with a large aperture. You will never have a problem finding the right guide star again. The guide scope fits into standard finder holders - there are no connection problems. Weighing only 563 grams, the guide scope is only slightly heavier than a normal 50 mm finder and does not put any strain on the telescope or mount.

The TSL60D is also a powerful finder. 60 mm aperture already shows hundreds of deep sky objects, you can clearly see the difference between a globular cluster and a star in the eyepiece. The telescope is a powerful wide-field refractor. The TSL60D can also be used as a ?video finder?, e.g. in remote observatories.

The 1.25"/T2 helical focuser: The 1.25" helical focuser enables precise focusing. The camera or eyepiece does not rotate when focusing. Once you have achieved optimum focus, simply fix the focuser position with the knurled screw. This maintains the optimum focus position. The focuser has a combined 1.25"/T2 connection on the eyepiece or camera side. You can connect crosshair eyepieces or guiding cameras directly.

Using autoguiders with 1.25" body, such as ASI120MINI or Lodestar: The focus is between 3 mm and 13 mm behind the 1.25" connection. The sensor would therefore be too far in. Using normal T2 extension tubes, which are screwed in between the helical focuser and the tube, you can move the focus further in so that you can easily focus with MINI guide cameras.

Using autoguiders with T2 connection: Cameras with a T2 connection and a flange focal distance (distance between T2 thread and sensor) of up to 13 mm can be screwed directly to the T2 thread of the helical. If cameras with a longer flange focal distance, e.g. 17.5 mm, are used, the 30 mm T2 extension tube must be replaced by a shorter one. Suitable extension tubes are linked in the accessories section.

Use as a finder: All standard 1.25? eyepieces and crosshair eyepieces can be focused without any problems. Even star diagonals or prisms can be used, provided a short adaptation is used.

Practical tip TS: Adapting the M-Gen to the TSL60D:

The M-Gen is one of the most popular stand-alone auto guiders on the market. Combined with the TSL60D, it allows guiding telescopes with up to approx. 300 mm aperture. Many photographers prefer a screwed connection of the guider to the scope (see picture).

- M-Gen back focus: 7 mm (T2 thread to sensor)
- TSL60D focus position: 16 mm ... 26 mm behind the T-thread
- To achieve an optimal position, we recommend the 15 mm T2 extension TST2V15.

Using the TSL60D as finder - adaptation of eyepieces:

Of course the TSL60D can also be used as a finder with 60 mm aperture. To adapt the distance between the 1.25" receptactle and the focal plane, we recommend an extension: This can be the TSVF1 which is simply screwed into the eyepiece´s filter thread.
