iOptron SkyHunter Portable EQ/AZ GOTO Mount System with iPolar

SkyHunter EQ/AZ GoTo Telescope Mount with iPolar

The SkyHunter EQ/AZ Mount is packed with advanced features such as precise GoTo capability and iPolar for fast and accurate polar alignment. The mount is powered by dual-axis servomotors with optical encoders for precise movement. The telescope and camera mount is fully Ascom compatible, with built in WIFI and an integrated rechargeable battery with up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge.

There’s no need find an extra mounting point or connect wires for accurate polar alignment. Just connect the SkyHunter mount with built-in iPolar to your computer via the included USB cable and run iOptron’s free software. After about 4 steps you’ll achieve (and maintain) accurate polar alignment for your entire viewing session. 

iOptron’s Portable EQ/AZ Astronomy Mount

An impressive 11lb payload carrying capacity, with the option for use in both Alt-Az or Equatorial configuration, makes the iOptron SkyHunter mount perfect for visual observing and outreach as well as long exposure astrophotography with smaller telescopes or camera lenses. A standard 3/8 tripod connection ensures that you have the option to use iOptron’s specially-designed tripod, equatorial mount and extension pier (all included), or to mount it on the standard photographic tripod you already own. Or upgrade to the Radian Carbon Fiber Tripod and save a few pounds of weight when you’re on the go. The SkyHunter includes four tracking rates to keep you on target for long-exposure deep sky astrophotography; lunar photography, 1/2 rate landscape astrophotography, and even Solar photography.

iOptron has raised their bar yet again for grab-and-go simplicity and portability in astronomy with the new GoTo SkyHunter Star Tracking Mount.
