Asterion Ecliptica Pro 45

The Dobsonian telescope is widely favored for its affordability and user-friendly nature, making it one of the most popular optical instruments globally. However, many users desire to enhance their observing experience by incorporating a basic tracking system, which significantly improves convenience.

Enter the Asterion Ecliptica Pro 45, a top-tier equatorial platform specifically designed to complement Dobsonians with a maximum mirror diameter of 12 inches. This remarkable platform offers the stability required for tracking celestial objects along the parallel of the celestial equator, a characteristic synonymous with equatorial mounts. As a result, users can now engage in not only visual observations but also embark on their astrophotography journey, capturing stunning images of the moon and planets within our solar system.

The Asterion platform operates in cycles lasting approximately 60 minutes, after which it can be reset to its initial position. It is important to note that utilizing the Asterion Ecliptica Pro 45 platform does not impose any restrictions on mounting Dobsonians, granting users the freedom to select their desired objects for observation.

Prior to commencing observations, it is crucial to ensure careful leveling and alignment of the platform according to the NS axis, with the drive oriented towards the south, as recommended by the manufacturer. The Asterion platform is suitable for use in the northern and southern hemispheres, within locations ranging from 42 to 48 degrees of latitude.
