Innovations Foresight

Full Frame Guiding & Focus

SkySurveyor Suite (SKSS)

Innovations Foresight is pleased to release at NEAIC/NEAF 2018 (April 19th to 22nd) the SkySurveyor Suite featuring our new, patent pending, technology for full frame guiding & focusing. This innovative approach does not require, nor need, any specific guide star for guiding and focusing in real time. Instead any astronomical structures (not only stars) in the whole (full) guider frame is used. SKSS includes SkyGuide, SkyGuard and SkySurveyor for advanced mosaic management.

Coming soon (April 2018). Preview SKSS manual

FOCUSLOCK

Continuous Auto-Focus

Developed in partnership with Optec inc the new FocusLock software integrates our patent pending SharpLock technology to provide an easy-to-use focusing application that functions whenever guiding is active. The ONAG cold-mirror introduces a slight astigmatism to the guide image allowing FocusLock to quickly determine on which side of focus the camera is currently positioned. Using SharpLock to easily drive the focuser to the optimal focus position and maintain focus while imaging.

ONAG XM

Full Frame On-Axis Guider

The ONAG XM is the full frame (and up) version of our ON Axis Guider product line. Its imager port supports imaging cameras with chip diagonals up to 50mm, while its guider port supports APS_C chips (up to 28mm in diagonal) for remote operations providing a very large FOV for guiding at once. Therefore with a large guider diagonal there is no need to rotate or use the ONAG integrated X/Y stage for finding a suitable guide star. The ONAG XM features a heavy duty helical focuser for the guider.

On Axis Guider Technology (ONAG)

Our patent pending On Axis Guiders (ONAG®) use a high efficiency (>98%) dichroic beam splitter (DBS). The ONAG provides a very wide FOV for (on & off axis) guiding, while the near infrared (NIR) guiding significantly reduces seeing effects on […] Read More.
