GIOTTO para Origin, generador inteligente de flats

The Celestron Origin Smart Telescope is designed to simplify deep-sky imaging, automatically applying factory-calibrated flat frames to enhance image quality. However, when the camera is rotated to better frame a target or when new cameras become available in the future, the original calibration becomes inaccurate, requiring a new flat frame capture. This is where the GIOTTO for Origin flat field generator comes in. Designed specifically for the Origin telescope, GIOTTO ensures precise and consistent flat frame calibration by uniformly illuminating the optics with our advanced LED technology. It seamlessly fits onto Origin’s dew shield, locking securely in place, and allows users to wirelessly control brightness levels via their smart device. With GIOTTO for Origin, astrophotographers can easily recalibrate their telescope whenever needed, ensuring the highest image quality for every capture.

If you prefer to use an external power source, make sure it provides 12V at least 2A and features a 5.5/2.5mm center-positive power plug.

GIOTTO for Origin works also with PLAY astrophotography software

If you prefer to control GIOTTO for Origin by using a Windows computer, you can use PLAY astrophotography software that provides an easy to use interface to activate your GIOTTO and precisely adjust its brightness. And if you want to use your preferred Windows astrophotography software, you can also control GIOTTO by using other softwares thanks to the dedicated ASCOM driver.

GIOTTO for Origin is designed for Origin Intelligent Home Observatory

GIOTTO for Origin smart flat field generator fits directly onto the end of Origin’s dew shield and locks into place with the same tabs used by Origin’s dust cover. To secure GIOTTO for Origin in front of the telescope, rotate it in the same way you do to fix the telescope’s original dust cover. Please note that, unlike other GIOTTO models, GIOTTO for Origin is not compatible with the ALTO telescope cover motor.
