Sky-Watcher SKYTEE-2 Dual Load Alt-Azimutal Mount & Stainless Steel Tripod

Sky-Watcher SKYTEE-2 with Tripod: Two Telescopes, Zero Electronics

The SKYTEE-2 is a heavy-duty, hand-operated alt-azimuth mount for intensive visual use. The special feature: it has two Vixen-style saddles, allowing you to mount two telescopes simultaneously, for example, a refractor for overview and a Maksutov for detail. The load capacity of approximately 15 kg can be distributed over one or two instruments.

Each axle has sensitive friction control plus slow-motion fine adjustment, allowing you to move smoothly and aim precisely. The counterweight holder balances heavier combinations. The included 1.75-inch stainless steel tripod keeps the entire unit free from vibrations.

Included

• SKYTEE-2 mount head with two Vixen-style saddles
• Slow-motion fine adjustment on both axes

Featured accessories
