ST-iAutoguider and Planet Cam 2 Shutters are better than one!Benefit of a mechanical shutter – no hot pixels to “guide” on 2 sec. Image without dark frame 2 sec. Image with dark subtracted
ST-i Guiding Kit Kit includes: ST-i, C-mount adapter, Kowa 100mm f/2.8 lens,lens hood, mounting rings and universal base plate
ST-iGuiding Kit Kowa 100mm f/2.8 lens has locking aperture and focus rings.The entire guiding system is 6.5” long and weighs only 12 ounces
ST-iGuiding Kit When used as an electronic finder scope, the ST-i Guider Kit with automatic dark frame subtraction is capable of detecting stars as faint as 13th magnitude in 10 seconds, and 15th magnitude in 30 seconds!

STT and STXL Common Features All STT and STXL cameras have water cooling capability if needed Not an expensive add-on
STT and STXL Common Features STT and STXL Cameras have both Ethernet and USB 2.0 connectivity Built-in web server allows control over a network or internet and wireless control
STT and STXL Common Features Self-Guiding in Front of the Filters: • Self-guiding is the most accurate, particularly with commercial SCTs. • Can be difficult to find bright stars through dark or narrowband filters. • The STT filter wheel incorporates the self-guiding CCD that picks off light from the guide stars before passing through the filters. • Two adjustment knobs on the filter wheel base: one for focus and one for moving the pick-off mirror. Problem solved.
STT and STXL Common Features Micron-Precision Filter Positioning The STT filter wheel is designed to provide a new level of accuracy when taking flats through filters When taking flat field frames the flat field frame must show exactly the same optical characteristics to be effective The STT and STXL filter wheels reposition filters to within 5 microns every time Allows extremely accurate flat field frames even after rotating the filter wheel several times, or even after a loss of power.
