About this product

Model:  antlia_oag_fd
Part Number:  OAG

The Antlia OAG and filter drawer assembly integrates both filter drawer and OAG into one seamless device.

This combined OAG and Filter Drawer provides flexure-free Off Axis Guiding and considerable weight saving (compared to separate OAG/Filter Wheel combinations).

Features

  • Large pick-off prism 12x12mm enables use of a larger guiding sensor for a greater selection of guide stars.
  • Mono-block (one-piece) design with OAG body directly connected to filter drawer.
  • Comfortably fits APS-C sensor and Full Frame sensor.
  •  Total thickness plus both side adapters only 37.5mm.
  •  Perfect for cameras with 17.5mm back focus distance without additional adapters.
  •  OAG is CNC machined from a single aluminium block for maximum rigidity.
  •  High-quality 1.25' helical focuser with generous 10mm travel ensures you will find optimum focus for your guide star.
  •  Adjustable prism height for optimum illumination of the auto-guider field of view. (The smaller the imaging sensor in your camera, the further down the prism can be set without interfering with sensor).
  •  Dovetail-type threaded adapters are attached to the body with grub screws, so they can be 360° rotated and locked to align with the telescope and camera.
  •  You can rotate the OAG 360° to find a guide star.
  •  A wide variety of adapters are provided to enable multiple configurations. Includes 7 popular threaded sizes: M42, M48, M54, and M68 male and female for both sides. (no M42 female)
  •  Filter sliders of 50mm diameter and 50x50mm square plus adapter rings for 1.25", 31mm and 36mm filters and other adapters can be ordered separately.

This feels like a substantial piece of kit. Handy thickness of 37.5mm means that perfect backfocus was achieved just attaching it to my ASI2600 camera (which already has 17.5mm). I set it up during the day time and then fin tuned on the first clear night. Lots of accessories included and the filter drawer has a good strong magnet to keep it closed, so no risk of it dropping to the ground. The large prism meant I had plenty of stars to choose from with my ZWO 290 mini camera. No vignetting when the prism was fully in, even with my APSC sized main camera sensor. I use a ZWO AM5 harmonic drive mount, so regularly get good guiding at approx 0.8rms. With the OAG this improved further to approx 0.5rms. Really impressed with it.
