Autoguiding has revolutionized the capture of deep-sky images by mechanizing the tedious and tiring method of "manually" guiding
an exposure, which involved staring endlessly into an illuminated reticle eyepiece while tweaking your mount's electronic drive
controls by hand to keep the stars pinpoint sharp. Until now, the problem has always been the lack of a simple, affordable
autoguider camera to do the job.

Problem solved. The StarShoot AutoGuider provides a user-friendly, dedicated autoguiding system for long-exposure
astrophotography. It's compatible with virtually any mount equipped with an autoguider port and comes with the software and cables
needed to work right out of the box!

The AutoGuider's sensor is a high-resolution, 1/2" format 1.3-megapixel CMOS monochrome chip, with 5.2' x 5.2' pixels for highly
accurate guiding. That high accuracy due to the small pixel size means you can use the AutoGuider with smaller, less expensive
guide scopes than is possible with other guide cameras (such as the now-discontinued ST-4). The chip resides in a super-compact,
anodized aluminum housing that measures just 2.5"wide by 2.35" long and weighs a mere 4.4 oz. It has a 1.25" nosepiece that can be
removed to access a T-thread interface. And the AutoGuider's short inward focus requirement of only 15mm from a typical 1.25"
Pl'ssl eyepiece makes it compatible with virtually any telescope.

The AutoGuider's incredible ease of use will appeal to beginning and experienced astrophotographers alike. The included software
requires no previous knowledge of autoguiding. It offers automatic calibration and guiding with literally a single mouse click.
The camera is powered via your computer's high-speed USB 2.0 connection with the included 10' USB cable; no other power source is
needed. A 6' RJ-12 cable is also included to connect the AutoGuider to the mount without the need for an additional RS-232
adapter.

With the StarShoot AutoGuider, precision autoguiding for deep-sky photography is now easier and more economical than ever. Get
one today for your imaging setup! One-year limited warranty.

Requires PC running Windows 2000, XP or Vista.
