Astro Precision: Engineered for Astrophotography Accuracy
Astro Precision is a Norwegian engineering company dedicated to solving one of the most overlooked challenges in astrophotography — sensor tilt. Founded by astrophotographers for astrophotographers, Astro Precision develops innovative tools that ensure your imaging train is perfectly aligned, helping you achieve pinpoint stars and flat fields across the entire frame.
Their flagship product, the TiltAdjuster, allows precise and repeatable adjustments to your camera’s tilt relative to the telescope's focal plane. Whether you're using a dedicated astronomy camera or a DSLR, the TiltAdjuster is an essential tool for advanced users seeking optimal performance from their optics.
About Astro Precision AS
Astro Precision was founded based on an idea of how to measure and correct tilt on astro camera imaging sensors.
To achieve good astro images it is necessary that all components in the stack are perfectly aligned. The value for the Critical Focus Zone assumes that the imaging sensor is perpendicular to the optical axis. If the imaging sensor is tilted relative to the optical axis, the focusing range is reduced and, and in worst case, it will not be possible to achieve good focus on the whole image area. Tilting can be due to misaligned sensor and/or inaccurate tilt-adapter or distance rings. The TiltPrecision instrument is designed to measure the tilt and help adjusting the tilt adapter to compensate for the tilt.
The tilt problem increases as the imaging sensor size increases.
At Dark Clear Skies UK, we are proud to offer Astro Precision products to the UK astrophotography community. If you're experiencing issues with corner star distortion, uneven focus, or simply want to maximise the potential of your imaging setup, Astro Precision provides a simple and robust solution.
