FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

That is normal. Finder scopes are only used to make objects easy to locate. The image orientation does not matter for observation.

  • Alt-azimuth: easy to use, moves horizontally and vertically
  • Equatorial: enables precise tracking of objects with only one axis – ideal for high magnifications and astrophotography

  • Moon: from 30 mm
  • Planets: from 100 mm
  • Deep sky: from 150 mm

Warning notes
  • General safety instructions DANGER Risk of suffocation! Improper use of this product can result in suffocation, especially for children. Therefore, carefully observe the following safety instructions. Keep packaging materials (plastic bags, rubber bands, etc.) away from children! There is a risk of suffocation! Keep cords, ribbons, and similar materials away from children! They could accidentally strangle themselves and suffocate! NOTE Risk of material damage! Improper handling can damage the device and/or accessories. Therefore, only use the device according to the following safety instructions. Do not dismantle the device! In the case of a defect, contact your dealer. They will contact the service center and may send the device in for repair.
  • Never look at the sun through an eyepiece/telescope without a certified protection filter. A moon filter can never be used for solar observation. The moon filter is only suitable for moon observation. The solar filter must be mounted in front of the telescope opening, not at the eyepiece. Otherwise, the concentrated light beam through the optics will immediately destroy the filter foil, leading to severe eye damage, including permanent blindness.
  • Never leave the optics unattended. Children and inexperienced adults could point the telescope at the sun without proper precautions and lose their eyesight.
  • Do not expose the device to high temperatures.

BRESSER Autoguiding Kit with 8x50 Guide Scope & Guide Camera
The BRESSER Autoguiding Kit with 8x50 Guide Scope & Guide Camera lets you capture pin-sharp astrophotos, even with long exposures. While you're imaging, it keeps track of the small tracking errors every telescope mount has, so they can be corrected with precision. The result? Long-exposure shots with perfectly pinpoint stars.Design and how it worksThe guide scope and guide camera work as a team to keep your main telescope tracking accurately. Simply remove the illuminated reticle unit, mount the guide scope parallel to your telescope tube and point it at a guide star. The autoguider slots neatly into the guide scope's 1.25" eyepiece holder and keeps a constant watch on your chosen star. The camera sends its images to your computer via USB, where any deviations are calculated. The correction commands are then passed straight to the mount – fully automatically and reliably.High-quality optics, precise focusing, flexible mountingWith its extra-wide field of view of 6.96°, the 50 mm guide scope with illuminated reticle makes it easy to lock onto a suitable guide star. It also delivers a bright, crisp image. A large knurled ring on the helical focuser, complete with millimetre scale, lets you focus with real precision. Thanks to its aluminium bracket, the guide scope fits many popular telescopes, including models from EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC and BRESSER Messier. A matching finder shoe is also included, which you can attach to any tube with four M5 screws.Reliable star detection, quick set-upThe autoguider's low-noise, back-illuminated SONY IMX290 CMOS sensor is exceptionally sensitive to light, so you'll always find a suitable guide star, even with short exposures. To control the camera, you'll need autoguiding software (not included) such as the free PHD2. BRESSER provides the matching ASCOM drivers as a download.FEATURES GUIDE SCOPEHigh-quality 8x50 guide scopeDoubles as a finder scope or compact travel telescopeSuperb sharpness and comfortable viewingFully multi-coated (FMC) lensesExtra-wide 6.96° field of view (FOV)Objective focal length: 220 mmMax. camera weight: 550 gRemovable eyepiece/reticle unitCamera attaches via 1.25"/31.7 mm eyepiece holder or T2 threadT2 thread: M42 x 0.75 mmPrecise helical focuser for sharp focus across the fieldFocuser travel: 28 mmMinimum focus distance: 3 mLaser-engraved 0–28 mm scale on the focuserBack focus: approx. 22 mm behind the T2 threadReticle focuses independently at the eyepieceRed illuminated reticle with adjustable brightnessReticle scale in 1° incrementsPowered by two LR41 button cellsBrass compression ring and 3 clamping screws on the 1.25" eyepiece holderReaches 8x to 40x magnification with optional eyepiecesWorks with almost all 1.25"/31.7 mm eyepiecesAll-aluminium finder bracket6 large adjustment screws with grippy knurlingFits finder shoes from EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC, BRESSER MESSIER and othersMatching finder shoe includedFinder shoe hole spacing: 31.7 mm lengthways and crosswaysAdjustment and clamping screws with plastic tipsNOTE: For more information on the guidescope, see item no. 14195FEATURES GUIDE CAMERAST-4 compatible autoguiderCamera model: BRESSER GPCMOS02000KPA colourImage sensor: back-illuminated SONY IMX290 CMOS colour sensorImage and video output: Full HD, 1936 x 1096 pixels (video at 15 fps)Sensor resolution: 1936 x 1096 pixelsExposure times: 66 µs to 16 minBinning: 2x2Resolution: 2.1 MPSensor size: 5.6 x 3.1 mmPixel size: 2.9 x 2.9 µmBit depth: switchable between 8 and 12 bitsCNC-machined aluminium housingSafety strap eyelet on the housingNosepiece diameter: 1.25" (31.7 mm)Connection thread: C-mount + 1.25" filter threadPC connection: USB 2.0Includes C-mount extension tube with 1.25" filter threadNo IR-cut filter in front of the sensorCompatible with WINDOWS 10 + 11, Linux, StellaVitaASCOM and WDA drivers includedNOTE: For more information on the camera, see item no. 14046SCOPE OF DELIVERY8x50 guide scopeEyepiece unit with reticleReticle illumination incl. batteriesFinder bracket with finder shoeGuide cameraC-mount adapter with 1.25" filter threadUSB 2.0 cable, 200 cmST-4 guiding cable, 150 cmDust cap for the cameraSoftware downloadInstruction manual
