Product description

Beyond autoguiding

The LVI SmartGuider 2 Imaging Control System goes beyond the simple concept of autoguiding. Astrophotographers know well that autoguiding is vital for obtaining clear and crisp long-exposure photos with pinpoint star resolution, but that’s not all. Final images are the result of a complex process handled by different devices which must all work together flawlessly in order to get the desired photo quality. But in most of cases, the process isn’t flawless.

An integrated solution

The LVI SmartGuider 2 Imaging Control System is an integrated solution which does the whole process required to make unparalleled astrophotos in a fast, funny and easy way! No longer do you need the laptop, the reflex remote switch, the focuser control and other gadgets in the field: the elusive beauty of the Universe will now just be a few clicks away from your dreams.

Features:

  • Automatic star search function
  • Noise Threshold adjustable to avoid Hot Pixel

Focus trouble

Review by S. V. on 17.05.2011 17:28:54

( 5 / 5 )

I had some trouble focusing this thing. The autoguider comes with a 7mm calibrated eyepiece. The guy who calibrated my eyepiece must have different vision than me, (I do not use glasses). When I found the correct offset for the eyepiece I acquired focus very easy though. When focus is ok everything else works like a dream.

I would like to have a LiveView-fuction on this camera. That will make it easier to focus.
