SVBONY SV106 Guide Scope for Astronomical Telescope (50mm)

This versatile 50mm aperture guide scope is designed for use with guider CCD astronomy cameras or eyepieces, making it an ideal accessory for astrophotographers. Equipped with a built-in helical focuser, it allows for precise focusing of potential guide stars, helping you quickly lock onto the stars you want to observe and further refine the details.

The helical focuser features a machined, knurled ring that enables easy, fine-tuned focus adjustments with zero flexure, ensuring rigid performance. A thumbscrew allows you to securely lock the focuser in place once the desired focus is achieved. The focuser boasts 8mm of precise helical focus travel, and the telescoping drawtube housing provides up to 30mm of additional back-travel, catering to the requirements of various autoguider devices.

The guide scope's optical design includes FMC (Fully Multi-Coated) films and positive and negative lenses, greatly reducing light loss and achieving a high light transmittance of up to 99.5%. The taper matte tooth and spray matte paint design further minimize light loss within the lens barrel, resulting in clearer and sharper images.

In addition to its guiding capabilities, this versatile scope can also double as a straight-through finder scope when equipped with an optional 1.25" eyepiece. It features male T-threads on the focuser collar, allowing for secure attachment of guide cameras with female T-threads, making it an ideal accessory for astrophotography.

The guide scope comes with a comprehensive set of accessories, including two heavy-duty guide scope rings and a 3.5" long, 1.18" wide dovetail mounting bar. The dovetail bar is compatible with dovetail finder scope bases for easy attachment and features five threaded through-sockets for versatile mounting options. The included guide scope rings are equipped with six metal thumbscrews, ensuring precise aiming and stable positioning.

The guide scope's construction is made of sturdy, full-metal materials, ensuring a long service life. It features a nylon-tipped thumbscrew design on the guiding bracket to avoid scratching the guide scope. Additionally, the copper protection circle helps prevent marring of your eyepiece barrels.

Weighing only 604g and measuring 240mm in total length, this guide scope is a lightweight and compact autoguiding system that adds minimal weight to your astrophotography setup.

In summary, this versatile 50mm guide scope with a helical focuser is an excellent addition to any astrophotographer's collection of gear. Its precise focusing capabilities, high-quality optics, and comprehensive accessories make it a valuable tool for capturing high-quality astrophotos.
