Guide hors axe OAG L

The helical focuser is very nice. This is my first OAG and using it with the Askar 71F, ToupTek ATR585M and AFW-M. I was a bit concerned at first as the blue focuser ring just spun freely. The OAG-L didn’t come with an allen key to tighten the set screws for the focuser ring. I found one that worked in my personal toolkit but didn’t feel like I could get them as secure as I'd like.

Note: The locking screw of the camera must be tightened very tight so that it no longer wobbles.
Unfortunately I cannot integrate this OAG into my setup with the Qhy268c. The helifocal rotary wheel, which is attached to the lower side, prevents the optimal backfocus setting. The setting wheel bumps into the Qhy camera and prevents a smaller distance than 19 mm. In my case, however, 12 - 14 mm would be required.

I got this adapter for Redcat 51 setup along with Touptek Filter wheel. The OAG got attached to the touptek filter wheel perfectly well with screws, attching the Touptek guide camera was easy, setting it up to precise location for finding guide stars was also simple to perform. You can raise and lower the prism easily. It worked well with Touptek 662 camera. I was able to find stars with Redcat 51 and guide the AM5 well. The sales and service of Touptek is also amazing. The packages arrived within 4 days. Everything was taken care of, even the customs. Very Satisfied.

Siehe meine 1. Bewertung. Hier mal ein aktuelles Bild. Mit so einer Kamera kommt man nicht in den Fokus,

I have used this only for one imaging session about 8h. Guiding worked well with OAG. Setup was easy only small difficulty was to get focus right with guide camera. Overall OAG simplifies my imaging setup saves time for actual imaging.
