Omegon Microspeed Guidescope 60 mm

The Omegon Microspeed Guidescope 60 mm is a powerful yet compact tracking scope for astrophotography. With an aperture of 60 mm and a focal length of 240 mm (f/4), this guidescope offers higher resolving power and more illumination than the 50 mm variant. This makes it particularly suitable for telescopes with longer focal lengths or for astrophotographers who demand maximum accuracy at long exposure times.

Like the smaller version, this guidescope also features a built-in Microspeed worm gear focuser with 10 mm travel distance. This allows extremely precise focusing without camera or eyepiece rotation during focusing. This keeps the chosen tracking star exactly in focus. The robust metal housing, knurled focusing ring and sturdy tube rings ensure stability and durability.

The guidescope comes with a Synta-Style mounting plate so it can be easily attached to most telescopes. Thanks to its 1.25″ connection, it is compatible with virtually all autoguider cameras and can also be used as a viewfinder with a reticle or other eyepiece.

Application

The Omegon Microspeed Guidescope 60 mm is ideal for astrophotography with longer focal lengths, where small deviations in tracking are more noticeable. With its extra aperture and longer focal length, this guidescope offers more precision and light output than the 50 mm version. This makes it an excellent choice for advanced astrophotographers who want to take their guiding to the next level.
