Sky-Watcher Solarquest Motorized Alt-Azimuth Solar Telescope Mount

Description

This is specifically designed for solar viewing and photography and is not a traditional GoTo system. This is all done with a single push of a button. Take your solar observations to the next level with the Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Motorized Alt-Azimuth Solar Telescope Mount. Its DC servo motors are powered by an included 12 VDC power adapter or eight user-supplied AA batteries. The SolarQuest has a standard Vixen-style dovetail plate and a payload capacity of 11 pounds so it can easily handle most solar scopes plus accessories. Once aligned, the mounts tracks the sun automatically. Sky-Watcher's HelioFind system has an auto-level function and utilizes an internal GPS receiver to determine your location, date, and time, then calculate the precise position of the sun. An eight-way control pad allows you to precisely center the sun. This purpose-built mount is uniquely designed to make solar viewing fast and easy-without the need to align your gear the night before. Supporting the mount is an adjustable-height aluminum tripod that comes with an extension to raise the mount head higher without sacrificing stability and an accessory tray.
