Omegon Altazimuth Mount with Fine Adjustment: a tracking star quickly centered<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This mount secures a guide scope to your main telescope and then allows you to aim it precisely. With the fine adjustment in altitude and azimuth, you can center a guide star in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why focusing is necessary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A guidescope needs a suitable star in its field of view to be able to guide. If it is rigidly mounted in the exact same direction as the main telescope, a usable star is not always present. With fine adjustment, you can find one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Quick change<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You mount it with a 1\/4-inch thread onto the piggyback bracket of your telescope. On top, you slide in a GP, Vixen, or EQ-5 dovetail bar, allowing you to swap guide scopes without tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stability determines the guiding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Any movement between the guide scope and main telescope is misinterpreted by the guiding system. A rigid, backlash-free mounting is therefore not a luxury, but a prerequisite for usable guiding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
