I’ve watched a number of videos produced by IF and I have some questions that I hope those on the forum who use this technology can answer. Let’s start with a basic one. Do you need the company’s ONAG in order to use, for example, their SkyGuide software?

You don’t need the ONAG.

You just need to precisely defocus a certain distance and load the captured image into SkyWave for analysis.

“SkyGuide works with any auto-guiding hardware, including OAG, guidesocpe, self guided camera and FW, ONAG,”
