AstroTrac Mount 360GEM

Introducing the AstroTrac 360, the world's most portable high-performance telescope mount that packs a full-size experience into the smallest, lightest design possible.

Compact yet incredibly accurate, the new AstroTrac 360 features advanced friction drives and optical encoders for unmatched unguided tracking performance. Despite its weight of just 5 kg (11 lb) in the GEM configuration, it boasts an impressive imaging instrument capacity of 10 kg (22 lb), easily accommodating a 100 mm (4 inch) refractor or 200 mm (8 inch) carbon Ritchey-Chretien telescope with a camera.

Equipped with a single arm, this mount eliminates the need for counterweights when using a 400 mm camera lens or small telescope, thanks to its unique sliding mechanism that enables balance without counterweights.

Not only does the AstroTrac 360 offer exceptional tracking performance with its advanced friction drive and premium Renishaw optical encoders, but it also ensures precise pointing with raw encoder accuracy better than 60 arcseconds over 360 degrees.

Featuring a secure polar scope with dimmable built-in LEDs and wireless connectivity for convenient control from your phone, tablet, or laptop, the AstroTrac 360 provides a seamless observing experience. Additionally, its 360 Omni-Clamp offers versatile mounting options for scopes, telephoto lenses, and ballheads, making it incredibly adaptable to various setups.

• 2x 360 drive units
