PulsGuide
Pulsing Eyepiece Illuminator |
 |
Less Eye Fatigue
= Better Astrophotographs -- PulsGuide pulses the reticle illumination to
let the eye rest between pulses. The result? Improved contrast
between reticle and faint guide stars for easier guiding and better
astrophotographs.
Two Knob Timing
Control and Adjustable Brightness -- 2 knobs let you independently tailor
on and off blink times from continuous on to long-on/short-off
or short-on/long-off or anything in between.
Two Color LEDs -- Comes with night vision safe 660nm red LED which you can switch to yellow LED by unplugging red and plugging in yellow. Some astrophotographers find low level yellow makes the cross hair
clearer and sharper, and makes guiding even easier. Long life CR1/3N battery included.
Available With
or Without Eyepiece -- Use our quality, dual crosshair, 12.5mm plossl eyepiece or with your eyepiece or finder. Fits standard 8Mx075 mm threaded
hole. 10mm and 14mm set-screw adapters available. Uses one long life lithium battery (included) that
is available at most electronics, camera and hardware stores.
PulsGuide Jr Pulsing Finder Illuminator
Less Eye Fatigue = Better Finding - --PulsGuide pulses the reticle illumination to let the eye rest between pulses. The result? Improved contrast Improved contrast
between reticle and faint objects for easie acquisition of faint objects in your finderscope..
Night Vision Safe 660nm Red LED and long life CR1/3N battery included Black anodized aluminum body and easy grip on/off/brightness knob.
One Knob Timing
Control and Adjustable Brightness --Fixed pulse ratio of 2/1 adjustable from fast to slow blink.

And
We Can't Say It Better
"Some observers
therefore prefer a cross hair that flashes on and off while guiding.
For this reason, Rigel Systems designed a guiding light source
called "Pulsguide", a simple but effective invention
that pulses the reticle illumination of a guiding eyepiece during
an exposure. On and off times and the reticle brightness are all
variable and the unit is compatible with many existing guiding
eyepieces. For guiding on very faint guide stars, I find this
gadget invaluable." Martin
Mobberley in Astronomical Equipment for Amateurs.
"PulsGuide
solves the problem of how to guide on faint stars while keeping
the crosshairs bright. I use mine constantly. I prefer a yellow
reticle illuminator bec ause I'm sure my eye is focusing it in the same plane as the star." Michael Covington, author of Astrophotography for the Amateur.ause I'm sure my eye is focusing it in
the same plane as the star." Michael
Covington, author of Astrophotography for the Amateur.
"...indeed with
PulsGuide I was able to track stars that were virtually at the
limit of what I could see in the eyepiece when no reticle illuminaton
was present." Dennis
di Cicco in Sky and Telescope
"...fainter
stars may be spotted and followed with greater ease...".
