QSI 500 Series cameras have a Guider port on the bottom of the camera. This port sends
guider correcting signals to your telescope mount. Connect the included guider cable from
the camera Guider port to the AutoGuider port on your telescope mount. The guider
correction signals output by the QSI 500 will work with most modern telescope mounts
using the included guider cable.
The photo to the left shows the
guider cable connected to the
AutoGuider port on a Losmandy
Gemini System. Please refer to
your camera and mount
specifications to confirm your
mount is compatible with the
signals from the QSI 500 Series
camera. QSI offers an optional
Guider Break-Out Box (GBOB) for
connecting to older or non-
standard mounts. Please see the
QSI web site for complete
details.
