Omegon MiniTrack LX Quattro NS Set with Ball Head and Polar Wedge

Omegon MiniTrack LX Quattro NS Set with Ball Head and Latitude Wedge: the most complete MiniTrack setup

This set includes the MiniTrack LX Quattro NS, a ball head, and a wedge. This gives you the most accurate setup the MiniTrack series has to offer, ready to be mounted on a photo tripod.

The MiniTrack works entirely mechanically: you wind it up like a kitchen timer, and it tracks the stars for up to an hour. No batteries, no cables, no firmware. On a cold night far from home, that's just one less thing that can break.

What the polar wedge adds

Without a wedge, you adjust the pole height using the tripod legs, which is rough work. An equatorial wedge allows you to fine-tune the height with a screw. Because the exposure time you can achieve depends directly on the alignment accuracy, this is the component that makes the biggest difference in the final result.

Up to 4 kg, both hemispheres

The needle bearing and the stronger spring system support cameras weighing up to 4 kilograms. The NS version is designed for both the northern and southern celestial poles.

All components are coordinated with each other

Tracker, ball head and wedge come as a matched set. Assembling them separately is also possible, but then you have to pay attention yourself to the connections between the parts, in particular the dovetail size between wedge and tracker.

Included

• Mechanical astro tracker
• Ball Head
• Pool height
• Optical scope viewfinder
• CNC aluminum housing

Featured accessories

Only a sturdy photo tripod is still missing. Count on a tripod that can easily handle the total weight of the setup plus camera; a shaky tripod undoes the precision of the wedge.
