Product description

The CoStar is the latest miniature Autoguider from those innovative guys at Starlight Xpress. Only 45g (1.5oz), this is the lightest dedicated autoguider on the market but believe me it can really punch well above its weight and all in a package no bigger than your thumb. Too good to be true? Not anymore!

Big things can come in small packages and the CoStar from Starlight Xpress really is no exception. This tiny Autoguider comes fully packed with great features:

  • Only 1,25” in diameter allows this to drop neatly into your 1¼” eyepiece holder - no additional adaptors required.
  • Large area (6.78mm x 5.32mm) giving you a wide field of view to find a suitable guide star.
  • Sensitive 55% Quantum Efficiency – sensitivity is everything.
  • ‘Built-in’ Autoguider Port – no need to run extra cables from your computer to control your mount corrections
  • Powered by the USB of your computer so no need to carry and extra power supply with you – one less thing to forget when you are on your way to the Star Party.
  • Compact and solid aluminium construction.
