DFM's new flagship product, The LEO Scope™, offers the highest cost/performance satellite tracking optical ground station (OGS) available.  Featuring a 26-inch (66cm) aperture, F/1.7, 4.5-degree FOV, and a Ximea CMOS camera 6144 x 6144 with 10µm square pixels (61-mm x 61-mm, 86.8-mm diagonal). This OGS offers low inertia and high stiffness to track at LEO rates which can exceed 10-degrees per second. Initial tests reached 14th magnitude stars with 1/10 second exposure.  Two degree step and settle to +/- 1.5 arcseconds in one second.  See DFM's website for more information.
