Abstract
An on-axis dichroic guide system provides a telescope with an automated active control and focusing system for imaging celestial bodies. The on-axis dichroic guide system mainly comprises a system body, a scope port, a guide port, an imaging port, and an dichroic beam splitter. The scope port is positioned adjacent to the system body, and the guide port is positioned adjacent to the system body opposite to the scope port. The imaging port is positioned adjacent to the system body on an axis that is non-parallel to the axis containing the scope port and the guide port. The dichroic beam splitter is positioned with the system body. In addition, the dichroic beam splitter is arranged to reflect the visible portion of the input light towards the imaging port and to direct the infrared portion the input light towards the guide port.
