PrimaLuceLab GIOTTO 185 Flat Field Generator
The GIOTTO 185 is a Smart Flat Field Generator from PrimaLuceLab, designed to help astrophotographers capture accurate flat calibration frames for telescopes with apertures up to 185mm.
Key Features of GIOTTO 185
- High-Performance LED Lights: Provides a sun-like color temperature for neutral calibration frames.
- Special Light Diffuser: Ensures even illumination across the frame for improved calibration accuracy.
- Adjustable Light Intensity: Fine-tune brightness in 100 steps from 0% to 100% for precision control.
- Versatile Mounting: Fits telescopes with external tube diameters from 147mm to 210mm, secured by included thumbscrews.
- USB-C and WiFi Connectivity: Connects to EAGLE or Windows computers, with wireless control via smartphone or tablet.
- Optional ALTO Motorized Cap: Allows remote control of calibration and telescope cover with the ALTO motor.
The Importance of Calibration in Astrophotography
Calibration frames—such as flats, darks, and biases—are essential in post-processing for eliminating vignetting, shadows, and other imperfections. The GIOTTO 185 simplifies capturing these frames for optimized astrophotography results.
Recommended Use
The GIOTTO 185 is ideal for telescopes with an illuminated diameter of up to 185mm, particularly refractors with apertures up to 150mm. For best results, choose a flat field generator with an illuminated panel slightly larger than your telescope’s optics.
Upgrade your astrophotography setup with the GIOTTO 185 for accurate and efficient calibration frames, enhancing the quality of your imaging sessions.
