   FLI Atlas Digital Focuser (95.25mm Aperture) [FLI-ATLAS]

   $2,079.85 USD

   Flight Lakes Instrumentation: FLI Atlas Digital Focuser (95.25mm Aperture)

   Today’s sophisticated imaging systems include color filter wheels (asymmetrical weight distribution), off-axis guiders, rotators, corrective optics, and CCD cameras. Together they present a formidable group of equipment that must be moved with micron accuracy and no image shift to achieve the finest results. The Atlas Digital Focuser is up to the task; an engineering ”pièce de résistance” with unique solutions to achieving critical focus with heavy loads. 

   FLI's digital focusers are specifically designed for modern CCD imaging where the digital imaging system is mounted very close to correct focus. The thin designs allow focusing with short-travel optical designs.
   The production load test setup consists of an Atlas focuser horizontally mounted to a fixed base and loaded with a ProLine camera at the end of a 10" long aluminum tube. As the focuser is moved repeatedly in both directions, it comes back to the same position every time. The displacement is measured by a dial indicator with 0.0001" resolution, a close-up of the dial face is shown for clearer viewing. Small step actuation at the end of the sequence highlights the precision of the instrument.
   Tested Under Extreme Conditions
   Ice crystals form on the surface of the Atlas focuser after it was removed from FLI's temperature chamber. The focuser handles operation in temperatures below -25°C thanks to a high-performance low-temperature lubricant. Special precautions are necessary for those cold nights, ice buildup must be in kept in check in order to allow the focuser parts to move freely.

   FLI 5 Position Color Filter Wheel (for 2" or 50mm diameter filters) [FLI-CFW1-5]

   $946.85 USD

   Flight Lakes Instrumentation: FLI 5 Position Color Filter Wheel (for 2" or 50mm diameter filters)

   At less than 7/8 of an inch thick, the CFW-1 color filter wheel is designed to closely and rigidly couple to any CCD camera. The homing device of the CFW is highly accurate and repeatable. The recessed opening of the color filter wheel securely clamps to an IMG, MaxCam, or "AD" adapter mounting flange. This setup adds a minimum distance to the light path and avoids the vignetting issues common with other designs.

   The T-mount system was introduced by Tamron in 1957 as a universal lens mount for 35mm cameras. The idea was that each lens would have a standard threaded rear flange. A camera specific adapter would then be attached at the point of sale, as needed. This greatly reduced costs since only the T-mount adapters needed to be stocked, rather than different versions of every lens.

   With T-mounts readily available for most camera bodies, it was natural for astronomy buffs to settle on it as the standard adapter for 35mm astrophotography. Without this inexpensive and easy to use adapter, astrophotography might have gotten off to a far slower start than it did. On the downside, the T-mount was designed to solve a very specific optical coupling problem in 35mm cameras. Progress in telescope design and CCD array size is revealing the T-mount as a potential bottleneck in the light path.

   Color Filter Wheels
   Our color filter wheel’s robust mechanical design provides the basis for stunning, uncompromising images. Each FLI color filter wheel is precision engineered with a highly accurate no-slip drive chain and stepper motor. The large diameter pivot pin and bushings are precision ground and matched for smooth, quiet no-fuss operation night after night. FLI color filter wheels do not use internal lights for homing, so your images are protected from stray light interference.

   FLI's proprietary Zero Tilt Adapter (ZTA™)
   The ZTA™ is an FLI adapter design that eliminates the common deficiencies found in most astronomical adapters. When you use the ZTA™ you will never experience tilted components, marred adapters, or wobbly interfaces!
    
   The ZTA™ adapter system employs a circular spring that evenly distributes the pressure of three set screws against the ZTA™ dovetailed surface. The resulting clamping force between the two machined surfaces results in zero tilt, zero adapter marring and a complete elimination of problems associated with loose connections. The ZTA™ adapter can be machined to fit nearly any type of camera, color filter wheel or telescope.
    
   ZTA™ - featured in the Atlas focuser and the CenterLine color filter wheel.

    FLI High Speed Filter Wheel - 10 x 25mm filters [FLI-HS-1025]

    $4,654.85 USD

    Flight Lakes Instrumentation: FLI High Speed Filter Wheel - 10 x 25mm filters

    High-performance servo motors featuring rare Earth magnets coupled with backlash-free power transfer provide ultimate torque which translates to ultimate speed. Adjacent filter distance is traveled in as fast as 23ms on the HS-625 model and 30ms on the HS-1025 and HS-1032 models, while the longest distance (180 degree wheel turn corresponding to three filter positions on the HS-625 and five positions on the HS-1025 and HS-1032) is covered in 45ms on the HS-625 model and 90ms on the HS-1025 and HS-1032 models.

    Control
    The control system not only optimizes the trajectory to result in maximum speed with minimum vibration, it also adapts to the changes in load. When filters are added or removed, the controller parameters must be adjusted in order to maintain peak performance. A built-in adaptation mechanism takes care of these adjustments providing optimum performance no matter what the operating conditions are.

    
    Servo Motor Advantage
    Encoder feedback sensors on the servo motors enable reliable operation compared to a stepper-motor-based open-loop motion system where step skipping may occur. However, the advantages of servo motors come at a cost of increased circuitry and controller complexity. This is addressed with state-of-the-art semiconductor components, a high-performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and a sophisticated control algorithm.

    High Speed Filter Wheel Features

    Wheel Design
    Weight-reduction features have been added to the wheel design for maximum speed. High accuracy and reliable operation is achieved by using custom designed components and precision machining. The filter wheel doubles as a pulley, reducing the number of parts necessary for efficient power transfer and maximizing the torque delivered by the motor.

    Deep Pocket for Filters    
    Filter pockets accommodate a wide selection of filters up to 9mm thick. The HS-1025 model holds up to ten filters with 25mm diameter, HS-1032 holds up to ten 32mm filters, and HS-625 holds up to six 25mm filters. Additional flexibility is provided by combining the HS-1032 wheel with optional 32mm-to-25mm adapters or other custom holders. The filters are secured in place by threaded retainers.
    Filter Access    
    Filter Access
    An oversized opening complemented by a threaded lid provide convenient access for filter replacement eliminating the need to disassemble the unit.
     
    Filter Position Indicator
    On the HS-1025 and HS-1032 models, the current filter selection as well as the position aligned with the filter replacement port is indicated through small openings near the wheel pivot. On the HS-625 model, the filter pocket index is visible when replacing the filters through the access port.
        
    Integrated Electronics
    All of the drive and control electronics facilitating the functionality of the HS-1025, HS-1032, and HS-625 models are contained in the filter wheel housing. This convenient solution eliminates the need for an external controller and the associated wiring hassles. It is still possible to operate multiple filter wheels through the same serial port by connecting them in daisy-chained mode. Simply connect a computer to the incoming port and a second wheel to the outgoing one to achieve functionality equivalent to a two-wheel system driven by a central control unit. Up to three filter wheels can be operated from the same serial port. Aside from motor drive and control circuitry, the integrated circuit board features a shutter controller allowing for a direct connection of a shutter without the need of external drive electronics.

    FLI High Speed Filter Wheel - 10 x 32mm filters [FLI-HS-1032]

    $4,654.85 USD

    Flight Lakes Instrumentation: FLI High Speed Filter Wheel - 10 x 32mm filters

    High-performance servo motors featuring rare Earth magnets coupled with backlash-free power transfer provide ultimate torque which translates to ultimate speed. Adjacent filter distance is traveled in as fast as 23ms on the HS-625 model and 30ms on the HS-1025 and HS-1032 models, while the longest distance (180 degree wheel turn corresponding to three filter positions on the HS-625 and five positions on the HS-1025 and HS-1032) is covered in 45ms on the HS-625 model and 90ms on the HS-1025 and HS-1032 models.

    Control
    The control system not only optimizes the trajectory to result in maximum speed with minimum vibration, it also adapts to the changes in load. When filters are added or removed, the controller parameters must be adjusted in order to maintain peak performance. A built-in adaptation mechanism takes care of these adjustments providing optimum performance no matter what the operating conditions are.

    
    Servo Motor Advantage
    Encoder feedback sensors on the servo motors enable reliable operation compared to a stepper-motor-based open-loop motion system where step skipping may occur. However, the advantages of servo motors come at a cost of increased circuitry and controller complexity. This is addressed with state-of-the-art semiconductor components, a high-performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and a sophisticated control algorithm.

    High Speed Filter Wheel Features

    Wheel Design
    Weight-reduction features have been added to the wheel design for maximum speed. High accuracy and reliable operation is achieved by using custom designed components and precision machining. The filter wheel doubles as a pulley, reducing the number of parts necessary for efficient power transfer and maximizing the torque delivered by the motor.

    Deep Pocket for Filters    
    Filter pockets accommodate a wide selection of filters up to 9mm thick. The HS-1025 model holds up to ten filters with 25mm diameter, HS-1032 holds up to ten 32mm filters, and HS-625 holds up to six 25mm filters. Additional flexibility is provided by combining the HS-1032 wheel with optional 32mm-to-25mm adapters or other custom holders. The filters are secured in place by threaded retainers.
    Filter Access    
    Filter Access
    An oversized opening complemented by a threaded lid provide convenient access for filter replacement eliminating the need to disassemble the unit.
     
    Filter Position Indicator
    On the HS-1025 and HS-1032 models, the current filter selection as well as the position aligned with the filter replacement port is indicated through small openings near the wheel pivot. On the HS-625 model, the filter pocket index is visible when replacing the filters through the access port.

    Kepler Cooled sCMOS Cameras Gsense400 front illuminated grade 1 (non-microlensed) [FLI-KL400-F1G1]

    $12,379.85 USD

    Flight Lakes Instrumentation: The KL400's Low Dynamic Range (LDR) mode reads the image once and digitizes it to 12-bits. The user has eight gains to select from in LDR mode. Adjusting the gain affects full well size, dark current growth, and linearity.

    The High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode reads the pixels twice, digitizing with different gains. (Unlike CCDs that only read the charge from each pixel once, CMOS sensors can measure the charge multiple times.) The two images are merged to create a 16 bit image with the linearity of a single image, thus allowing an HDR image to show detail in both low-count and high-count areas of an image. Because of the additional read time, the maximum HDR frame rate is half that of the LDR mode.

    The Kepler camera also features a Low Dark Current (LDC) options for both LDR and HDR. When used, the LDC option minimizes dark current at the expense of reduced full well capacity. For short exposures where dark current growth is not a problem, LDC is not generally used. Standard modes (not LDC) provide the highest full well capacity and widest dynamic range. On the other hand LDC mode is very useful for imaging dim objects that require very long exposures where dark current growth can be significant.

    The following may be useful in making the decision on which mode is most appropriate:

    Choose LDR mode for required frame rate greater than 24 FPS (exposures <42 ms).

    Choose HDR mode for a dynamic range greater than 0 – 4095 counts

    Choose LDC when your exposures are sufficiently long that dark current growth uses a significant percentage of full well capacity. (Also cool sensor to lowest possible operating temp.)

    Do not choose LDC for short exposures.

     
    A Signal to Noise Ratio Comparison: PL16803 CCD vs. KL4040 sCMOS
    The ProLine PL16803 has been the de facto standard for astrophotography since its release in 2006, and the Kepler KL4040 continues the tradition of excellence. Both cameras use a 4k x 4k sensor with 9 micron pixels. The difference is the ProLine uses a traditional CCD while the Kepler uses a Scientific CMOS sensor.

    The table below is a comparison of the ProLine PL16803 and the Kepler KL4040 cameras, using a low flux value of 1 photon/pixel/second.

    KAF-16803 vs GSense4040

    SNR 10 x 90 sec    11.9    20.9
     

    Summary: A Paradigm Shift
    It is no surprise that the CCD’s best performance is with a single long exposure. What may be surprising is the Kepler KL4040 has a better signal-to-noise ratio than the PL16803 even with a single long exposure. The signal-to-noise ratio of the KL4040 is better than the PL16803 even when using short exposures that are stacked!

    The benefit of taking multiple short exposures is the option to discard a bad exposure ruined by satellite trails, tracking errors, or bad seeing (etc.). Incredible low-noise images are now possible with a single long exposure or many stacked short exposures. The KL4040’s superior performance allows it to be used for a wide range of applications and requirements.

    The ML4720 uses a back-illuminated frame transfer sensorfrom e2v technologies. Half of the sensor is covered with a metal mask; half is exposed to light. 
    The exposed side of the sensor is centered in the camera aperture. The image is moved from the exposed side to the masked side in about 10 milliseconds, then read out from the masked side while a new exposure is integrating on the exposed side. (Therefore, frameto-frame timing depends in great part on the digitization speed.)
    The default configuration for the camera is two channel readout with software-selectable digitization speeds of 500 kHz and 4 MHz per channel. (Single channel readout is available on request, as are different digitization speeds.)
    The midband and broadband versions of the sensor are operated in MPP mode (low dark current). The UV version of the sensor is non-MPP

    MicroLine CCD cameras are smaller and lighter-weight than the competition, but outperforms them in key areas such as noise, frame quality, download speeds, bit-depth, and CCD cooling. FLI MicroLine CCD cameras feature fast download speeds that simply leave the competition behind. Each component of the FLI MicroLine camera is designed and manufactured for a long life in the most demanding conditions. All major components are CNC machined and you’re looking at only the highest quality electrical components and circuit boards with logo, serial number and focal plane indicators laser-etched on the surface – not printed. FLI designed photo-etched stainless-steel shutters are field-serviceable should they ever encounter damage and the sensor is hermetically sealed from dust and moisture. What sets FLI MicroLine CCD Cameras apart is their small form factor. At 3.7 x 3.7 x 5 inches (HWL), the FLI MicroLine is a small camera with big camera capabilities! The Microline improves upon the highly successful FLI MaxCam design in a number of key areas including cooling, download speeds, clear aperture, and sensor capability. The ML6303E CCD Camera features the Kodak Full Frame KAF-6303E Grade 2 Sensor and a 45mm high-speed mechanical shutter. Fully field-serviceable and hermetically sealed from dust and moisture. CCD can be operated at -30° deg C with typical room temperatures and without the need for water cooling or special cooling sequences. The FLI MicroLine CCD Camera is CNC machined with only the highest quality electrical components and circuit boards. The FLI MicroLine’s robust cooling design achieves a sustainable cooling performance of 50-55° deg C below ambient. The camera’s CCD can be operated at -30° deg C with typical room temperatures and without the need for water cooling (sold as a separate option). Conventional imaging cameras move the image data directly from the image sensor to the USB port, making them susceptible to added artifacts due to PC processing tasks, processor speed, and other PC-related issues. The MicroLine avoids these issues with its internal frame buffer, thus allowing an image to be quickly read out and downloaded to the PC. This allows the PC to take the image at whatever speed it is capable of without introducing any artifacts to the image. When it comes the FLI MicroLine, you get system compatibility and mounting options as well as mechanical shutter, liquid cooling, and Anti-Dew Technology options that will help you trick out your camera the way you want it. The MicroLine line of CCD cameras is compatible with all FLI imaging accessories, including the Precision line of Color Filter Wheels and Digital Focusers. MicroLine camera adapters are available for microscope, telescope and machine vision connectivity.
