Description

Starlight Instruments is proud to introduce a new Coma Corrector called the Starlight Integrated Paracorr System (referred to as SIPS hereafter). The SIPS is an integrated focuser-mounted version of the TeleVue Paracorr Type 2.

This Coma Corrector functions with Starlight Instruments finely crafted Feather Touch focuser and combined with TeleVue’s 1st-class optics, which together, makes this the ultimate coma corrector.

SIPS Setup and Facts

The advantages of the SIPS Coma Corrector is once it is set-up, there is no need to fumble with locking screws, turning your flashlight on to check its position, etc. This saves time and hassle. Also, the assembly is more rigid and flexure is greatly reduced. The SIPS Coma Corrector totally eliminates the need to re-adjust/calibrate when switching eyepieces. You will simply adjust the focus knobs of your Feather Touch focuser for viewing. Because of this, the SIPS Coma Corrector will save you valuable observing time, less hassle and ease of use.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Stella C. ★★★★★

The focuser drawtube is incredibly smooth, and being able to adjust the coma corrector spacing without extra adapters is a huge time-saver during imaging sessions. I was dialed in and getting sharp stars across the entire field within minutes.

Hannah ★★★★★

Installing this was surprisingly straightforward, and the integrated design means zero play or flex in the focuser—rock-solid even with heavy eyepieces. The smooth, butter-like travel is a huge upgrade from my old setup.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The fine-threaded adjustment knobs make dialing in focus incredibly precise, and it's noticeably smoother than my old focuser. I'm getting crisp stars across the entire field now, which is exactly what I needed for imaging.
