Player One FHD-OAG MAX Off-Axis Guider – new version (SKU: OAG-MAX-2) enables autoguiding through the main telescope. An 8 × 14 mm prism directs some light from the edge of the beam to the guide camera, allowing the imaging setup to be guided without a separate guide scope. This model is designed for configurations with Player One cameras from the Poseidon, Zeus and Artemis series.

In the new version, the maximum diameter of the helical focuser housing has been reduced from 53 to 46 mm, making installation easier in setups with limited space between accessories. The revised construction reduces stray light intrusion, while the lower rotational resistance of the focuser makes manual guide camera focusing easier.
