This useful imaging accessory enables you to image and guide through the same telescope, thereby eliminating the need for a separate guide scope which also saves weight on your mount. The Deluxe OffAxis Guider is especially useful for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes or other systems that are prone to optical flexure or mirror shift.

An open star cluster would be ideal.
