Design and assembly of the Guide Chamber:

An autoguiding camera was designed based on a Samsung SCB2000P camera which is recognized by the MetaGuide software.

The camera was modified in order to eliminate weight on the telescope. The CCD circuit was disassembled and a 1m extension was made to the body of the camera, which is attached to one of the legs of the telescope tripod.

For the manufacture of the extension, 2 FPC-20P 0.5MM adapter circuits were used, one connected to the CCD circuit and the other connected to the body of the camera, which have the purpose of adapting the 20-pin flat cable to a flat cable output of 20 threads of 1 meter. In this way the signal is transmitted smoothly, eliminating almost all the weight of the camera from the optical tube.
