Home Astro-Imaging Guide Scopes Altair MG32 Mini Guide Scope & Polar Alignment Scope - QRB Rings Kit
The Altair MG32 Mini Guide Scope is a small "set and forget" high quality optical tube with a very clever design, which is compatible with virtually any guide camera with a C or CS Thread on the front. The MG32 is small, very compact, and light - ideal for portable wide field imaging. You can mount it on just about any telescope finder base with the included Universal Finder Bracket, and of course all Altair refractors. Two Stainless Steel M4 screws are included.Altair cameras fit directly without the CS adapters, just remove the front black nosepiece marked "CS" from your camera and screw it onto the rear of the MG32 Miniguider so the purple part of the camera marries up to the red rear part of the MG32. Small and accurate: This is the perfect guider for your iOptron SmartEQ PRO, SkyGuider, Star-Adventurer or other small tracking mount. It delivers good accuracy with refractors and camera lenses up to 600mm focal length. Weight is about 350 grams and length is 165mm. Perfect for polar alignment with SharpCap PRO and Altair GPCAM: If you order an Altair GPCAM camera with your MG32, you get a free 1 year SharpCap PRO software license with the camera, so you can polar align your telescope or camera lens with extreme accuracy out of the box in minutes. Your MG32 doesn't even need to be perfectly aligned with your optical tube. You can just point the finder scope within 5 degrees of the north or south celestial poleand the software will do the rest. This alone will revolutionise your imaging.Camera not included with this package

Perfect for Portable Setup The MG32 works brilliantly with my Altair 60EDF on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer mount. I was able to fit my existing Zwo120mm camera using the CS adaptor. Can now polar align with sharpcap Pro and guide the mount in RA with PHD. Excellent service, Thank you. (09/09/2019) Paul Moyers - St Helens
Lovely scope and excellent service Beautifully made little unit, complete with mount that bolted perfectly onto my WO61 scope. Unfortunately the six knurled clamp screws were missing but Harrison Telescopes got me replacements stright away. Excellent service all round. (21/06/2019) Tim - UK
