Omegon MiniTrack LX3 Astrotracker with Polar Scope: Mechanical tracking with optical polar finder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MiniTrack LX3 is the full version with an optical polar scope. This allows you to align more accurately with the celestial pole than with a simple finder scope, which is immediately noticeable in rounder stars during longer exposures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact, light and strong<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The CNC-machined aluminum housing remains stable and durable in a backpack. Cameras up to 3 kg are no problem, so you can also use a lightweight telephoto lens without image shake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sixty minutes follow<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The large Teflon slide bearing ensures smooth movement. The updated spring system replaces a counterweight and keeps the camera stable, even at the end of the wind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alignment determines the outcome<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With a tracker, everything depends on polar alignment. The more precisely you align to the celestial pole, the longer you can expose before stars start trailing. The polar scope is therefore not a luxury, but the component that determines your exposure time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
