SBIG STF-8300
(above STF8300 with optional OAG, Filterwheel and ST-i autoguider)
SBIG's second generation 8300 camera in the same body as the
popular ST-8300. Physically, the STF-8300 looks identical to the ST-8300 model,
with the exception of a desiccant plug on the side of the camera opposite the
connectors. However the STF model has new, faster, electronics, a full frame
buffer, a user rechargeable desiccant plug and automatic image processing. A
full frame, high-resolution image will download in less than 1 second. The
camera is also available bundled in several of the most popular configurations
with a 5-position or 8-position filter wheel, off-axis guider, ST-i autoguider,
and filters.

SBIG OAG-8300
The
innovative OAG-8300 turns any ST-8300 or new STF-8300 into a self-guiding
camera system. The OAG-8300 is designed to work with either the 5-position or
8-position filter wheel. Color cameras, or mono cameras without a filter can
also use the OAG-8300 with a spacer.
What
is unique about the OAG-8300 is the 7-element internal optical design. The OAG
contains relay optics that move the guide camera to the side of the imaging
camera, and at the same time, a 0.7X reducer effectively doubles the field of
view of the guider. This design allows for a low profile between the camera and
the telescope, reducing backfocus requirement at the same time, gives a wide
field of view that offers more guide stars for the guide camera.
