Vixen Astronomical Telescope CMOS Camera VA225C 33804-7

[CMOS camera supports precise tracking to catch even the slightest deviation] This is a high-sensitivity color CMOS camera for auto-guided photography. By combining this product with a guide scope in addition to a telescope and camera for astronomical photography, you can monitor the movement of the stars and automatically correct the movement of your equatorial mount. The dedicated software also features a polar axis alignment assistance function that utilizes plate-solving technology. This allows you to align the polar axis with high precision without using a polar axis telescope. [Autoguiding for Stable Astronomical Photography] Have you ever experienced the feeling that even though you've properly aligned the polar axis, the celestial object is slightly misaligned? Have you ever experienced the feeling that even though you've properly aligned the polar axis, the celestial object is slightly misaligned? Due to atmospheric influences and errors in the rotation of the equatorial mount, tracking a star for an extended period of time can result in the image appearing to stray. Autoguiding automatically corrects these slight misalignments, enabling long-term photography. In addition to the telescope and camera used for astronomical photography, an additional camera (such as this product) is attached to the guide scope to monitor the movement of the stars and automatically correct the movement of the equatorial mount. This is particularly effective when using a long-focus telescope for long-term photography. [Easy Setup with Dedicated PC Software] Autoguiding is performed using the dedicated PC software "Vixen Autoguider" on your computer. Simply select from three pre-set settings (urban, suburban, or full sky) to suit the night sky environment you're shooting. Getting started with autoguiding is simple and easy, making it recommended for beginners. *Adjustments may be necessary depending on the shooting location and atmospheric conditions. [Achieve accurate polar alignment without using a polar scope] The polar alignment assist function utilizes plate solving technology. You can check the accuracy of polar alignment in real time on the dedicated software screen and make adjustments. [Recommended Guide Scope: Darkfield Finder II 7x50mm] You can use the Darkfield Finder II 7x50mm (sold separately/included with some telescopes) as a compact guide scope. *We recommend using it with the 50mm Finder Leg S (sold separately/included with some telescopes). Its parfocal design ensures that the focus position does not change significantly, so you won't lose sight of the guide star even if you swap out the eyepiece unit for this product after using it as a finder.
