A 16-inch RC is an ideal telescope for the GIOTTO 560. By pairing it with the optional \u003cstrong\u003eALTO motor\u003c\/strong\u003e and connecting it to your observatory computer via USB or WiFi, you can fully automate the flat-taking process. Your imaging software can command the ALTO to close the GIOTTO over the telescope aperture and then control the GIOTTO's brightness to capture flats for each filter at the end of your imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"DAV-specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"DAV-grid\"\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"DAV-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"DAV-grid-item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/PrimaLuceLab_GIOTTO_Manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003csvg class=\"DAV-img-box\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M0 64C0 28.7 28.7 0 64 0L224 0l0 128c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32l128 0 0 144-208 0c-35.3 0-64 28.7-64 64l0 144-48 0c-35.3 0-64-28.7-64-64L0 64zm384 64l-128 0L256 0 384 128zM176 352l32 0c30.9 0 56 25.1 56 56s-25.1 56-56 56l-16 0 0 32c0 8.8-7.2 16-16 16s-16-7.2-16-16l0-48 0-80c0-8.8 7.2-16 16-16zm32 80c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24l-16 0 0 48 16 0zm96-80l32 0c26.5 0 48 21.5 48 48l0 64c0 26.5-21.5 48-48 48l-32 0c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16l0-128c0-8.8 7.2-16 16-16zm32 128c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-64c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-16 0 0 96 16 0zm80-112c0-8.8 7.2-16 16-16l48 0c8.8 0 16 7.2 16 16s-7.2 16-16 16l-32 0 0 32 32 0c8.8 0 16 7.2 16 16s-7.2 16-16 16l-32 0 0 48c0 8.8-7.2 16-16 16s-16-7.2-16-16l0-64 0-64z\" fill=\"#0047a7\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"DAV-item-title\"\u003eDownload Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/davidastro.com\/pages\/primalucelab-warranty-policy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePrimaLuceLab 1-Year Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PrimaLuceLab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968074641693,"sku":"PLL-PLLGIOTTO560","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/products\/giotto-430mm-smart-flat-field-generator__25298.1674747475.1280.1280.jpg?v=1684348716"},{"product_id":"primalucelab-pllgiottorg6","title":"PrimaLuceLab GIOTTO for Origin, Smart Flat Field Generator","description":"\u003cul class=\"DAV-feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent flat field generator designed exclusively for the Celestron Origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables precise, on-demand recalibration for superior image quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocks onto the Origin dew shield, replacing the standard dust cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWirelessly controlled via smartphone or tablet with its own Wi-Fi network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C port allows for wired control from a Windows PC via PLAY software or ASCOM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFAQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDownloads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-center\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGIOTTO for Origin, Smart Flat Field Generator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GIOTTO for Origin is an intelligent flat field generator engineered specifically to maintain perfect image calibration for your Celestron Origin telescope.

This is crucial for one-shot-color cameras to avoid introducing color casts into your final, calibrated image. It produces a neutral-balance flat frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eCan I control the GIOTTO 560 and ALTO-3L bundle without an EAGLE computer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

For long-distance connections, you would typically use a powered USB hub mounted on the telescope or pier, which then connects back to your main control computer. If you are using a PrimaLuceLab EAGLE, it mounts directly on the telescope and the ALTO connects to one of its USB ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eIf I'm imaging the Orion Nebula (M42) all night, how would I use the GIOTTO 560 with ALTO-3L to get my calibration frames?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter your imaging sequence of the Orion Nebula (M42) is complete, your automation software can be scripted to automatically close the GIOTTO 560 cover. It would then turn on the GIOTTO's light panel and begin capturing your flat frames for each filter used during the night, all while you are asleep. This ensures your calibration data is taken at the same focus position as your light frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eI have a large reflector telescope on a permanent pier.

For a large reflector on a permanent pier, which is often exposed to the elements, the motorized cap function of the GIOTTO 560 with ALTO-3L is ideal.
