This solidly built 60mm Guide Scope will help guide you to capturing higher quality astrophotos. Plus, if you dont plan on capturing photos, you can use this handy scope as a deluxe, straight-through 60mm finder by inserting an optional 1.25" eyepiece. (Autoguider cameras and eyepieces sold separately.) The Multi-Use Guide Scope has a large, 60mm aperture lens for better light-gathering than 50mm and smaller models.

The larger aperture lets you see more stars in the guide scope field-of-view, providing a wider selection of guide star choices. This Guide Scope is designed for use with small-chip autoguider devices such as the Orion StarShoot AutoGuider and Orion StarShoot AutoGuider Pro Mono Camera (AutoGuiders sold separately).

As its name suggests, the Orion 60mm Multi-Use Guide Scope with Helical Focuser features a built-in helical focuser that allows precise focus adjustments with zero flexure for rigid performance. The fixed-orientation focuser mechanism will not rotate inserted autoguider cameras or eyepieces when focus adjustments are made. This convenient feature means your field of potential guide stars will not rotate as focus is adjusted, further increasing ease of use.

The f/4, 240mm focal length Orion 60mm Multi-Use Guide Scope features a machined, knurled ring to make fine focus adjustments nice and easy, while a thumbscrew lets you lock-down the focuser in-place. The focuser boasts 10mm of precise helical focus travel, plus a telescoping drawtube housing provides up to 35mm of additional back-travel if needed for your particular autoguider device.

Also features male T-threads on the focuser collar for secure threaded attachment of guide cameras equipped with female T-threads. This complete guide scope comes with two heavy-duty guide scope rings and a 3.5" long (8.9 cm), 1.18" (3cm) wide dovetail mounting bar. The included guide scope rings feature six nylon-tipped thumbscrews for precise aiming.
