Hinode Solar Guider
The AstroHutech Hinode Solar Guider is the first autoguider designed for casual solar viewing as well as photography. It does not require precise polar alignment, allowing for quick, convenient setup-and-go for public outreach or quick viewing with a grab-n-go solar scope and eliminates the tedium of keeping the sun centred over a long observing session.
For imaging, long-term autoguiding on the sun simplifies post-processing for projects such as time-lapse movies.
Available with or without a hand controller. Windows PC required for use without hand controller. No PC at all needed for use with hand controller.
