Orion Mini 50 mm Guide Scope - Black
The Orion-designed Mini 50mm Guide Scope is a complete and compact guide scope solution designed for use with the Orion StarShoot AutoGuider (sold separately) or similar small-chip autoguiding devices. Consisting of a 50mm aperture, 162mm focal length (f/3.2) achromatic refractor guide scope, an adjustable dovetail guide scope bracket, an 1.25" aluminum parfocal ring, a dovetail mounting base, and an adapter plate, the Orion Mini 50mm Guide Scope makes it easy for any astro-imager to enjoy the precision of autoguiding in their images. The included guide scope bracket fits into the standard Orion dovetail finder scope base found on most Orion telescopes. The included dovetail base and attachment hardware lets you attach the Mini 50mm Guide Scope to any optical tube.
Weighing a mere 16oz., this air-spaced doublet guide scope is optimized for use with imaging telescopes measuring up to 1500mm in focal length. The optics are fully multi-coated, and the focus-adjusting front ring with locking collar with included parfocal ring makes it easy to repeat autoguiding performance night to night.
