I give the
XY Finder a Standing Ovation!
Finally, a useful guiding
accessory! The XY Finder eliminates the hassle of centering a
guide star and does it in a most novel and eloquent way. Bravo
Tau Ceti Co!
If you guide, the XY Finder
is ESSENTIAL equipment. I give it the highest recommendation.
Over the past five years,
I have actively looked for any device to help with centering a
guide star. Each involved moving the guidescope and each had major
drawbacks or limitations. The XY Finder by Tau Ceti approaches
the problem uniquely and has no drawbacks. It moves the eyepiece,
or CCD guider across the field of view instead of the whole guidescope!
What a simple and elegant concept! It works on any telescope.
It craftsmanship is superb. It is the solution to eliminating
³centering² hassles. Bottom line ‹ IF YOU GUIDE,
GET ONE!
The XY Finder can turn any
scope into a convenient and easy-to-use guidescope. With it, I
have used all my refractors as guidescopes, including my 80mm
Megrez, my TV NP 101 and even my AP 155.
I am so please with the
XY Finder that I will personally speak or correspond with anyone
interested in purchasing this great accessory. It takes the hassle
out of finding and centering guide stars.

My XY Finder and Flip-Mirror
Focuser made by Tau Ceti are now permanently attached to my ST-4
guider. This setup makes short work of focusing, finding and centering
guide stars on the CCD chip. In the past, it took me anywhere
from 2 to 5 frustrating minutes to get a guide star on the CCD
chip. Now, all it take me is a quick and easy 15 seconds ‹
every time.
If you guide with the ST-4,
then Tau Ceti¹s XY Finder and Flip-Mirror Focuser are MUST
HAVE EQUIPMENT. I only wish these devices were available when
I started taking pictures of all the Messier objects several years
ago. It would have saved me plenty of frustration!
If you manually guide, or
use the ST-4 as an autoguider, the XY Finder by Tau Ceti is an
ABSOLUTE MUST. This finely-crafted device finally puts an end
to centering hassles.
The number one hassle with
using guidescopes is centering the guide star. The XY Finder eliminated
this hassle. If you use guidescopes, get the XY Finder and start
enjoying smooth and easy setups. You won¹t go back.
I was a Supply Corp officer
in the Navy and we had a term, ³Labor-saving Device.²
The XY Finder is the ultimate labor-saving device that simplifies
and makes short work out of centering a guide star. Bravo Zulu
Tau Ceti. |
