Avalon X-Guider

The X-Guider is engineered to be completely play-free, which eliminates the mechanical deflection often found in cheaper, multi-screw ring systems. By removing this flexure, you get significantly more consistent guiding performance during long-exposure deep-sky imaging.

The X-Guider uses a standard GP-style dovetail mounting system. As long as your telescope or mount setup supports GP dovetails, it will attach securely without modification.

Yes, 6 kg is quite substantial for a guidescope setup. It is designed to handle most standard guide scopes and cameras with ease, while the low-profile design keeps the center of gravity close to your mount to prevent instability.

The knobs are ergonomically designed with a polymer coating, making them easy to grip and adjust with one hand even when wearing gloves. They provide smooth, precise movement, which is essential when you are trying to align your guide star in low-light conditions.

The X-Guider weighs 550 grams. Its CNC-machined aluminum construction is focused on balancing high structural rigidity with a lightweight profile, so it won't add unnecessary strain to your primary mount's payload capacity.
