Miroir basculant Flip Mirror System & Off Axis Guider

TS Flip Mirror and Off Axis Guiding System - with 360° rotation

• one of the most versatile solutions for multiple connections - for observation and imaging
• with free adjustable large side viewing port

Flip Mirror: here, no mirror is flipped but a large prism is placed onto the optical axis for 90° viewing position. In straight-through mode, the prism is pulled outward and gives the optical path free. Centre the object with the 90° viewing position, pull out the prism and capture the now centered object with your camera or observe it with a high-power eyepiece.

Off Axis Guider: the prism is placed at the rim of the optical field. Now the autoguider can "see" stars outside the camera's field of view. This application is recommended for sensors up to approx. 30mm diameter (APS-C). The flip mirror is rotatable by 360° making finding a guide star easy.

As it only needs 35.5 mm back focus, its compatibility is by far higher than conventional flip mirror systems.

A multi-coated prism guide the light by 90° out of the system. When insertet, the prism sits exactly in the middle of the optical path. So you see exactly the same object in the middle as the camera does after the prism has been pulled outside. So it's easy to center an object for your camera or high-power eyepiece.

If the prism is pulled out partially, it can still collect off-axis light rays to be used for guiding. So you also have a fully functional Off-Axis-Guider.
