Enhance the precision of your initial star alignments with the SkySync GPS module. Simply plug it into your telescope's drive base port, and it will automatically connect to global positioning satellites to obtain accurate time, date, longitude, and latitude data.

The tripod often goes unnoticed in telescope setups. However, its role in providing stability is crucial during observation. Opting for a high-quality tripod can significantly enhance both the telescope's performance and the enjoyment of observing.

For equatorial operation of a fork-mounted telescope in equatorial regions, a polar wedge is indispensable. Acting as the intermediary between the tripod and the fork mount, it's tailored to match the latitude of your observing site. This wedge effectively thwarts frame rotation, facilitating prolonged exposures.

A 5kg (11 lbs) counterweight designed for Omegon Taurus GM-60 mounts.

Adapter designed to allow the AM5 Harmonic Equatorial Mount to be mounted on both the EQ-6 tripod style and the HERCULES Geoptik wood tripod.

The prism rail enables you to connect a telescope to a mount featuring a standard Losmandy receiver. Additionally, you can utilize this dovetail rail to firmly attach other accessories, like a guide-scope, to the OTA.

With this Universal Saddle Plate (USP), you can seamlessly utilize either Vixen/Synta/Skywatcher format dovetail bars or the widely used Losmandy format dovetail plates, all without needing to modify the plate itself.

The Hubble SkyHub operates through Bluetooth or USB, continuously tracking your telescope's position via two encoders affixed to its axes. This data is relayed to Android, Windows, iOS, or Mac OS devices, updating the telescope's pointing direction on-screen in real-time through your preferred planetarium software.

This secondary dovetail saddle kit is compatible with all iOptron Cube mounts, such as CubePro, Cube-E, Cube-G, and Cube-A mounts. It accommodates a Vixen-style dovetail bar and features a mounting block with a 1/4" screw thread, suitable for mounting cameras with a ball head.

Achieving precise polar alignment is often time-consuming and prone to disruptions. iOptron's Center-balanced Equatorial Mounts (CEM), like the CEM25 and CEM60, feature an accessible polar scope for quicker alignments. However, conventional methods still require bending or kneeling to perform the alignment.
