You set up the SolarQuest on its tripod, place your solar telescope, and press the button. Thanks to HelioFind, the mount with GPS and time accurately calculates where the sun is, automatically slews to it, and precisely tracks the sun while you observe. Ideal for sunspots, prominences (with an H-alpha telescope), and planetary transits.<\/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-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ Mount Solarquest on aluminum tripod with column extension, ready for accurate solar tracking.\" 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-4.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ Mount Solarquest aluminum tripod with center mount and mounted accessory plate.\" 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 solar filter on the front. The mount supports up to 4 kg, moves silently, and operates on eight AA batteries: no cables, so it's quick to set up in the garden or on location.<\/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\n<li>Aluminum tripod with accessory holder<\/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\">A suitable solar telescope or a certified solar filter for your own telescope is mandatory for safe observation.<\/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\">Suitable for: Sun observers and schools or observatories that allow public viewing during the day without constant adjustment. Not suitable for: Nighttime use; a regular GoTo mount like the AZ-GTi is intended for this.<\/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>Azimuth automatic solar tracking mount with tripod<\/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>Saddle<\/strong><\/td><td>Vixen-style<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Motors<\/strong><\/td><td>Servomotors<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tripod<\/strong><\/td><td>Aluminum, with accessory holder<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total weight set<\/strong><\/td><td>4.05 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nutrition<\/strong><\/td><td>8 x AA (not included)<\/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.
