Thanks to HelioFind technology, the mount uses GPS and time to calculate the exact position of the sun, points the telescope to the correct altitude and azimuth, and tracks the sun all day long. This way, you won't miss a single detail of sunspots or planetary transits, without having to aim yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ-Montering-Solarquest-zonder-statief-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ Mount Solarquest close-up with black HelioFind controls, on\/off switch and power connector.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ-Montering-Solarquest-zonder-statief-3.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ Mount Solarquest detail view of the black HelioFind module with logo and status indicators.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: use the SolarQuest exclusively with a solar telescope or with a telescope equipped with a certified front solar filter. The mount carries up to 4 kg and moves quietly, keeping your image vibration-free. Eight AA batteries supply the power. This item concerns only the head; it fits on a tripod with a 3\/8-inch connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>SolarQuest mounting head with HelioFind and GPS<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Vixen-style dovetail clamp<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wie de complete opstelling wil, kiest de SolarQuest Montering &#038; Statief. Een passende zonnetelescoop of een gecertificeerd zonnefilter voor je eigen telescoop is verplicht voor veilige waarneming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good for: solar observers with a light solar telescope or filtered refractor who want to track effortlessly, even during the day with an audience. Not for: nighttime use, the SolarQuest is exclusively a solar tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td><td>Azimuthal automatic solar tracking mount<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sun detection<\/strong><\/td><td>HelioFind with GPS and sun sensor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max. load capacity<\/strong><\/td><td>4 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Head of weight<\/strong><\/td><td>2.65 lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Saddle<\/strong><\/td><td>Vixen-style<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Motors<\/strong><\/td><td>Servomotors<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nutrition<\/strong><\/td><td>8 x AA (not included)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tripod<\/strong><\/td><td>Not included (3\/8 inch connection)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disassembly of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/brands\/sky-watcher\/\">Sky-Watcher<\/a> is a base that will last you for years.
