This off-axis guider features a 1.25-inch double helical focuser and a 12.5mm prism, designed to redirect a small portion of light to a guide camera without the need for a separate guide scope. It offers smooth fine-focusing control through its helical mechanism, making it well-suited for precise alignment during long-exposure astrophotography sessions. Overall, it presents a practical and compact solution for imagers looking to minimize differential flexure in their imaging setups.
