Orion® Announces the SteadyStar ™ Adaptive Optics Guider
Submitted by admin on Thu, 10/29/2009 - 22:49.The following is the announcement of the Orion® SteadyStar ™ Adaptive Optics Guider from Orion Telescopes & Binoculars.
If you're serious about astrophotography, Orion brings you a new way to assure the best tracking performance possible, even in adverse conditions.
The SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider (AO) makes any imaging-capable mount, even if a modest one, performs more effectively. Precise tracking is one of the most critical facets of astrophotography and this tracking is limited to the accuracy of your mount, plus external factors like wind and atmospheric seeing conditions. The SteadyStar AO Guider overcomes these limitations and challenges and takes control with super fast and accurate guiding.
