• Shows instant seeing value, light input and 1 minute moving average
• Separate sensor can be placed next to the entrance pupil of your instrument
• Runs on battery or USB

• Holds all all Zeiss devices - with 68mm thread (with 19mm optical height)
• Keeps all Vixen Optics - with 60mm thread on the focus tube (with 24mm optical height)
• Keeps all Astrophysics refractors with 2.7 "thread (with 13mm optical height)
• Keeps all Skywatcher- / Celestron refractors, all Synta optics - with 56mm thread on 2 "eyepiece holder (with 31mm optical height)
