iOptron SkyHunter EQ\/AZ GoTo Mount on Tripod: complete GoTo set for observation and astrophotography<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron SkyHunter EQ\/AZ combines two mounts in a 1.3 kg housing: altazimuth for quick visual observing, and with the included EQ base, equatorial for long-exposure astrophotography. This version includes the matching aluminum tripod, so you immediately have a complete setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The load capacity of 5 kg (11 lbs) is sufficient for small apochromats, compact telescopes, and cameras with telephoto lenses. The counterweight set keeps the setup in balance in the equatorial position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via the built-in WiFi, you control everything with SkySafari or iOptron Commander on your smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From observing to photographing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In AZ mode, the GoTo control system locates objects for visual use. On the EQ base, the mount tracks the sky around an axis parallel to the Earth's axis: field rotation disappears and exposures lasting minutes become possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two DC servo motors with optical encoders provide control, with four tracking speeds for stars, landscape plus stars, sun, and moon, usable in both hemispheres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Complete and travel-friendly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The mounting head weighs 1.3 kg and the complete set remains light enough for a pannier or carry-on luggage. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of operating time at 20 degrees Celsius; connecting an external power supply is possible via USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to WiFi control, ASCOM and INDI are supported, and the Go2Nova 8410 hand controller can optionally be connected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
