Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion StarShoot Autoguider
PRO (
SAGPRO).
The
SAGPRO is a high speed CMOS camera designed for astronomi-
cal use.
The light weight, slim form factor, high sensitivity and built in
ST4 port
make the
SAGPRO ideal for use as a guide camera.
The ultra-fast frame rate (up to
200FPS in lowest resolution and up to
30FPS in highest resolution) makes the SAGPRO ideal for Solar system
imaging (Planets, Moon, Sun).
Long exposures of up to
10 Minutes make the SAGPRO capable of
imaging many of the Deep Space objects such as Galaxies, Nebulas,
and Clusters.
In summary the
SAGPRO can be used for the following purposes:
• Auto Guiding
• Planetary Imaging
• Lunar Imaging
• Solar Imaging
• Deep Space Imaging

Par Focal Ring
Attach the ring to the body of the
SAGPRO and position as desired and
lock using thumb screw. The ring aids in preventing the
SAGPRO from
falling too far into a focuser and also helps to match the
SAGPRO focus
position to an eyepiece. To do this first focus as normal using your eye-
piece, then replace the eyepiece with the
SAGPRO camera and move
SAGPRO manually by hand until image from camera is in focus. Lock
the ring at this position so that camera and eyepiece are now close to
matching focus.
