Description
Product Details

Designed for astrophotography guiding, the Player One FHD-OAG MINI diverts part of the telescope's light path towards a guide camera. This allows guiding directly through the main telescope without requiring a separate guide scope.

Its compact design is intended for Player One Ares series and planetary cameras. With an extension length of only 17.5 mm, it can be integrated into an imaging train while keeping the overall system compact.

8 × 14 mm Prism

The FHD-OAG MINI uses an 8 × 14 mm prism with proportions close to a 16:9 format.

With a height of only 8 mm, the prism can be positioned closer to the centre of the optical path, allowing more light to reach the guide camera.

Player One states that this design provides a no-vignetting result with the Xena-M camera.

Compatibility with Different Guide Sensors

Player One illustrates the available field with several guide cameras and sensor formats.

Ceres-M : IMX462 sensor, 1/3-inch format
Sedna-M : IMX178 sensor, 1/2-inch format
Xena-M : IMX174 or IMX249 sensor, 1/1.2-inch format

1.25-Inch Helical Focuser

The guide camera is installed in a 1.25-inch helical focuser for precise focusing.

The upper section also features an M42 × 0.75 thread for attaching a compatible guide camera.

Prism Adjustment and Locking

The prism position can be adjusted according to the optical configuration.

A dedicated locking screw secures the prism once the required position has been selected.

Telescope-Side Connections

The modular design of the FHD-OAG MINI provides several telescope-side connection options.

M42 : M48 front piece combined with the supplied M48 male to M42 female adapter
M48 : supplied M48 front piece
M54 : supplied M54 front piece

Player One Accessory Compatibility

Compact Construction

The off-axis guider body is manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium. The mechanical drawing specifies a 72 mm outer diameter and a 17.5 mm extension length.

This compact design allows off-axis guiding to be integrated with the main camera, guide camera and filter system without unnecessarily increasing the size of the imaging train.
