Starlight Xpress SXV-AO-LF Large Format Adaptive Optics

Features

• Image tracking and stabilization using a high speed tip-tilt optical window
• Fast tracking speed of 5mS per increment
• Overcomes rapid gear errors to stabilize even difficult mounts
• Mount control output for correcting large drive errors while maintaining AO stabilization
• Image shift factor independent of optical system or camera back-focus spacing
• Off-axis guider assembly (optional) for use with an SXV guide camera
• STAR2000 guiding compatible
• May be used to image stabilize many other makes and types of camera, given suitable control software
• Clear aperture of 60mm for up to 35mm full-frame size chips
• Short optical length - 70mm with OAG, 38mm without.
• Very low light loss (~2%) from the multicoated optics
• Filter threads for adding 48mm narrow band. IR blocking or pollution rejection filters without affecting the guide camera sensitivity
• Serial RS232 control via the computer or SXV splitter box. Parallel control available
• Low power consumption. Less than 600 mA at 12v DC when moving - 50mA quiescent current
• Compact and lightweight - only 132mm in diameter x 32mm long - less than 700 grams load on the scope
