SBIG AO-8 Adaptive Optics

The SBIG AO-8 adaptive optics is a second generation adaptive optics system from SBIG that is specifically designed to enable an SBIG ST-series camera user to obtain the ultimate in image resolution that his or her telescope and sight can achieve. The SBIG AO-8 adaptive optics can only be used with ST-7/8/9/10/2000 USB cameras. This compact unit gets power and commands directly from the camera via a short cable that is connected to camera's I2C port. No other external cables are required for power or control. The SBIG A0-8 has an I2C output port as well so it is fully compatible with other I2C accessories that you might add to the system, such as a filter wheel or the auto-guider.
