The Svbony SV160 30 mm guide scope is an excellent choice thanks to its compact size and low weight, placing no unnecessary load on the telescope mount while offering all the functionality expected from such an instrument.
Its aluminium housing features a threaded helical focuser. The 1.25" eyepiece holder uses a compression ring, protecting the camera body from pressure marks and reducing the risk of the screw pushing it off the optical axis. In addition to its 1.25" connection, it also features a standard T2 (M42 x 0.75 mm) thread, making it compatible with virtually any camera.
The tube rings of the 30 mm guide scope can be easily attached, for example, to Sky-Watcher finder scope shoes, while the base also features a 1/4" photo tripod thread.
The high-quality 120 mm focal length optics with an F/4 focal ratio feature a green multilayered FMC anti-reflection coating, which not only protects against internal reflections but also maximises light transmission. It weighs 342 grams.
