Rainbow Astro Mount RST-135 Brown (69460)

The Rainbow Astro Mount RST-135 Brown is a highly portable and lightweight equatorial mount, perfect for astronomers who need a compact solution for travel or field use. Weighing just 3.3 kg, this mount can be easily carried in one hand and does not require counterweights, making setup and transport effortless. It uses strain wave gear (harmonic drive) technology instead of traditional worm gears, resulting in almost zero backlash, no need for maintenance, and exceptional durability-qualities proven in industrial robotics.

The mount is constructed from CNC-machined aluminum alloy AL6061, ensuring both strength and a lightweight build. Built-in WiFi allows for wireless control using the SkySafari app on your smartphone, and it also supports ASCOM connections via WiFi or USB. The integrated GPS receiver automatically sets your location and time for accurate tracking.
