OGMA OAG XL Off-Axis Guider with Helical Focuser and 1.25" Holder

Highlights

  • Tall Body Design
    Optimized for setups with larger filter wheels and full-frame or APS-C cameras, providing perfect spacing and clearance.

  • Oversized Prism
    The large prism captures more light and offers a wider guiding field, especially valuable when using large-sensor guide cameras or imaging in low-density star fields.

  • Flexible Thread Options
    Includes two interchangeable mounting plates with M48x0.75 and M54x0.75 threads on the telescope side, ensuring broad compatibility with reducers, flatteners, and other accessories.

  • Adjustable Prism Position
    Fine-tune the prism height to maximize guide star brightness while minimizing any impact on the primary imaging field.

  • Precision Helical Focuser
    Smooth, accurate focusing for your guide camera, making it easy to lock onto guide stars with minimal effort.

  • Robust yet Lightweight Construction
    Built from high-quality, CNC-machined aluminum for durability and mechanical stability without adding excess weight to your imaging train.

The OAG XL is the ultimate choice for astrophotographers using large-format imaging equipment. Designed to deliver enhanced guiding performance while keeping your setup compact, stable, and efficient, it is the perfect solution for demanding deep-sky imaging projects. The OAG XL ensures your guiding stays sharp and reliable.

Camera filter wheel and OAG

Install

Refer to the online product manual for diagrams, photos, and videos on how to install the OAG

OAG Adapter

Included Adapter

Generally, a filter wheel or filter drawer is placed between the OAG and the camera. However, if you are not using either, you can install the included 20mm adapter/extender to maintain equal backfocus between the imaging and guiding cameras.

The adapter has an internal M48x0.75 thread, allowing you to either install a 2-inch mounted filter directly inside it or connect it to a camera (or another adapter) that has an external M48x0.75 thread.

Installation

In the last part of this video, you can see how the OAG is connected to a filter wheel. 

If you don't have a filter wheel and want to use the OAG, we recommend using the OGMA Universal Filter Drawer in place of the filter wheel. It is the easiest way to ensure that the OAG's prism will be placed correctly.
