The Celestron Off Axis Guider is an essential astroimaging accessory for long focal length telescopes that require the most accurate guiding possible. The Celestron Off Axis Guider uses a prism to intercept a small portion of the telescope’s focal plane (outside the field of view of the main imaging camera) to locate a guide star. Any movement seen by the guide star will be the exact same movement seen by the imaging camera. Guiding this way will correct for tracking errors, as well as opto-mechanical errors or flexure. The result: better astroimages with pinpoint round stars.

Off Axis Guiders have been around for a long time, but typically pose three main challenges:

Finding a guide star from the far edges of the telescope’s focal plane can be difficult, considering the small field of view and sometimes less-than-ideal illumination.
Getting both imaging camera and autoguider to reach focus with one another is time consuming and sometimes requires experimentation.
Additional spacers and adapters are usually required for your particular camera, telescope, and autoguider, which adds to cost and complexity.

The Celestron Off Axis Guider addresses these challenges by:

Providing a large 12.5mm prism that can be adjusted to move closer to the center of the telescope’s focal plane, depending on the size of the imaging camera. This results in brighter guide stars, with the help of the large prism to fully illuminate the autoguider sensor.
Featuring a high-quality, fixed-orientation Helical focuser. This provides extremely smooth and accurate focus of the autoguider without changing (or twisting) the autoguider camera orientation.

Including all the needed spacers and adapters are included for most common imaging configurations, including DSLR cameras, Nightscape CCD cameras, and more. The following adapters are included: SCT/EdgeHD, female M48, female M42 (T-thread), male M48, male M42 (T-thread), 3 T-thread spacers

The NEW ZWO ASI 662MC One Shot Color Camera with High Sensitivity

The new ZWO ASI 662MC adopts the Sony IMX662 sensor, has a rolling shutter, a frame size of 1/2.8", and a pixel size of 2.9um, and has 2.07million pixels (1920 x 1080). In high-speed mode, the CMOS sensor can output 102.6 frames per second at full resolution and provide a low read noise level.

Large Full Well capacity, not easy to overexposure

The ZWO ASI 662MC adopts the Sony 662MC sensor with the latest technology. Compared to the previous generation of sensors, it has a very low readout noise and extremely large full well capacity which is 3 times larger than that of the IMX462MC. This helps effectively with overexposure issues and allows longer exposure s. In low light conditions, the camera performs excellently, capturing very clear images of celestial objects.

STARVIS 2

ZWO ASI 662MC adopts the latest Sony IMX662 sensor with advanced STARVIS 2 technology. Featuring zero amp glow, higher sensitivity to red and Near Infrared (NIR) light, 3 times the full well capacity. it can be regarded as an upgrade of the ASI462MC. Also, its dark current noise is several times lower than the ASI462MC.

USB3.0 and 256M DDR Memory

The camera is equipped with a USB 3.0 transmission interface and a built-in 256MB DDR cache to ensure stable and secure data transmission. Under long exposure, it effectively avoids frame dropping and greatly reduces the glow effect caused by slow reading speed.

No Amp Glow

ZWO ASI 662MC exhibits zero amp glow, no matter how long the exposure and how high the gain value is. Since it is implemented directly at the hardware level, it does not require software control.

300 Second exposure with ASI 462MC

300 Second exposure with ASI662MC

Quantum Efficiency

The QE curve and noise readout are very important parameters to measure the camera's performance. Higher QE and lower readout noise are necessary to improve the image signal-to-noise ratio.

Camera Curve low read noise, high dynamic range

Readout noise includes pixel noise, circuit noise, and ADC quantization noise. The lower the readout noise, the better. As can be seen, the readout noise of the ZWO ASI 662MC is very low compared to CCD camera. The built-in HCG mode can effectively reduce the readout noise at high gain and allow the camera to maintain the same high dynamic range as it does at low gain. When the gain is 252, the HCG mode is automatically tuned on and the dynamic range rises back to 12-bit.

What's in the box

Astrophotography Performance

ASI174MM mini camera offers you very good performance for planetary imaging as well as for guiding. Low read noise, high dynamic range, AR protective window and much more are just some of the key characteristics that set it apart from the competition.

USB2.0Port & ST4 Port

USB 2.0 Port: Mini camera has one USB2.0 type-C port. Type-C port is very popular in mobile phones, as it doesn’t matter which way you connect it (unlike for example type-A or type-B)

#USB-C to USB-A cable is required.

ST4 Port: The camera can be connected directly to the auto-guider port of the mount.

High Sensitivity

Sensitivity is the first thing we considered. This is of course a crucial ability when looking for a star to guide on. So, from the beginning, we were set on using monochrome sensors to design our guide cameras. Because monochrome sensors have much higher sensitivity than their colour counterpart. Luckily the ASI120MM Mini, ASI290MM Mini and ASI174MM Mini all have very high QE peak value – about 80%, which can detect more stars in view and shorten the exposure time in guiding.

Each of the cameras have their own strength and depending on what you value in a guide camera, one might be better for you than the others.
