Sagitta features a large brass split-clamp for attachment of any 1-1\/4” format guide camera with plenty of range for setting the guide camera parfocal to the imaging camera. Adjusting the prism stalk height can be accomplished with a single tool and provides prism engagement adjustment of 12mm. Overall, guide camera adjustments exceed 42mm while the OAG body thickness is held at only 31.75mm or 1-1\/4”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a robust alternative for the OAG market, Sagitta Motorized Off-Axis Guider can be installed and configured for years of unattended use. A new, shorter 3-inch dovetail standard, the OPTEC-3000-S, rounds out the package with a variety of mating adapters. Any required adapter not available from Optec’s expanding inventory can be ordered through Precise Parts (www.preciseparts.com) to complete the camera side or telescope side connections to your imaging gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnique Benefits for Independent Guider Focus\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned especially with the Lacerta for Lodestar in mind, Sagitta allows slight adjustments to the guider focus for optimal performance with FocusLock continual focusing software.  Set the guider focus remotely, perform a calibration run, and you can enjoy continous, perfect focus regardless of temperature or other adverse conditions normally affecting focus.  With FocusLock, as long as you’re guiding the primary imager remains in focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor users of filter focus offsets, a problem occurs when the filter wheel is positioned behind the Motorized Off-Axis Guider OAG.  Applying an offset for non-parfocal filters will keep the primary imager in focus, but the guide camera will be de-focused for that filter.  With Sagitta, this effect can be effective reversed in software.  As the primary focuser moves out, say 50 microns, the Sagitta can simultaneously be moved inward by the same amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptec’s Sagitta OAG can be purchased with the guider motor attached (#19340) or without the motor for manual guider focus (#19342). The motorized version requires the FocusLynx control hub and is an ideal use of the Focuser 2 port for owners of FocusLynx or FocusBoss II controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of the manual Sagitta OAG, Optec also offers a motor upgrade easily installed with four socket cap bolts.  See #19349 for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eController

Oversampling comes at the cost of requiring a lot more integration time to build up high signal to noise ratio. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting image is much brighter than the native one – about 240%. Image resolution is still very high at 0.37~0.46 arcseconds\/pixel (depending on CDK model). Since the system will be oversampling in almost all cases, there is no loss in true resolution. A “larger” image of small targets can be produced simply by upsampling the already sharp reducer image. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe field of view (FOV) is limited given the smaller sensors. The dedicated Planewave focal reducer allows smaller sensors to capture a much larger field of view, thus reducing the overall cost associated with large cameras, filters, and filter wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporating an OAG into the system means no more guiding and tracking errors regardless of the sub exposure length, type of mount, lack of encoders, or perfect polar alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"547\" width=\"763\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/1_d6bb8617-0256-4952-833b-443fd794f8ce_480x480.jpg?v=1686928535\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/1_d6bb8617-0256-4952-833b-443fd794f8ce_480x480.jpg?v=1686928535\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow?\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe dedicated Planewave focal reducer only allows 44~47mm of spacing between the reducer and the camera sensor.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"\u003eWith mono-cameras that require a filter wheel, there isn’t enough space to add an OAG as well.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRouz Astro Fast-OAG CDK conversion kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas developed after extensive design and testing with several CDKs and focusers.
