Connecting directly to the telescope eyepiece, CIAO from Imagine Optic is inserted between the telescope’s focal plane and the user plane (sensor or fiber holder) without modifying the optical path. The set-up is facilitated by the embedded tip-tilt alignment interface and autocalibration tools. After pointing on the target, the user can close the Adaptive Optics loop with a simple click, to activate the aberrations correction or to lock in very fine pointing.

Key Features
+ Easy to install add-on for ground-based telescopes from f/22 to f/8, 200mm up to 1m diameter
+ Fast low light Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, 1kHz Operating between 400nm to 1100nm
+ Internal source allows a very easy and simple auto-calibration
+ Adjustable tip-tilt off-axis ball point for optical alignment
+ Optional Single mode fiber holder for white light interferometry, spectroscopy

Best For
+ High resolution imaging on planets or solar surface thanks to its compatibility with extended source
+ Stellar interferometry
+ High performance spectrometry
+ Space Situational Awareness (SSA)
