For All Your Needs In Astrophotography !
SETTING A NEW STANDARD IN AUTOGUIDING
The LVI SmartGuider is an innovative, stand-alone autoguiding camera whose advanced built-in logic allows correction for all tracking errors of any equatorial mount equipped with a standard ST4 autoguider port.
Unlike other guiders in the market, the LVI SmartGuider is a stand-alone unit that interfaces directly with your guidescope and mount, no PC required.
The Control Paddle features a wide graphical display, which enables the user to constantly monitor the tracking performance and fine-tune all of the guiding corrections sent to the mount.
