iOptron Mount SkyGuider Pro iPolar Set

The revamped SkyGuide Pro mount head boasts a compact design, small enough to fit in your palm, with enhanced precision and silent tracking. It features a built-in rechargeable power source, ST-4 guiding port, and camera trigger port. The upgraded precision polar scope now offers adjustable illumination with varying brightness levels, ensuring accurate alignment.

The DEC mounting bracket allows for better balancing of heavy cameras or lenses and the option to mount a light telescope. With the optional Go2Nova hand controller, you can easily check the Pole Star position, adjust the guiding rate, and control the camera trigger, among other functions.

The SkyGuider Pro offers four tracking rates: 1X (sidereal), 1/2X (sky and landscape combined), solar, and lunar. All tracking rates are compatible with both northern and southern hemispheres. Additionally, a quick slew mode with forward and reverse options aids in reframing images without disturbing the camera's position.

The PoleMaster, a high-precision electric polar scope, simplifies polar alignment. By aligning the true north point with the rotation center of your R.A. axis, the PoleMaster achieves precise alignment in just a few minutes. It utilizes a highly sensitive camera to capture the northern sky, identifying faint stars to calculate the true position of the North Pole. With its intuitive interface, the PoleMaster guides you through the alignment process, ensuring accuracy within 30 arcseconds in just two minutes.
