Finally, a universal tracking kit is available , which is easy to assemble and handle. Consisting of a telescopic sight, a tracking camera and the required prism clamp you can start long-term photography with active tracking control (autoguiding) .
Simply mount the prism clamp with the mounting screws on the carrying handle of the BRESSER Messier and EXPLORE-SCIENTIFIC telescopes and the AR90 / 500 guide scope with tracking camera can already be fixed stably parallel to the main telescope . The tracking camera is now connected directly to the ST-4 compatible autoguider socket of your telescope mount.

The prism clamp has 2 x 6mm countersunk holes (35mm hole spacing) and 3 further 1/4 "photo tapped holes to allow for versatile adaptation to a variety of other telescopes and adapter plates. The tracking camera is very useful for tracking Recording of planets and even deep-sky objects . A detailed description of the tracking camera can be found at the BRESSER article number 4959050.
NOTE: It is necessary to mount the camera on the telescope using the diagonal mirror so that focusing will work.
