Product Details

  •  

    The iOptron SkyTracker Pro (Black) is exceedingly compact, as it is now small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and easily be transported anywhere. A unique bidirectional rapid slew function lets you reframe without disturbing the camera. The included polar scope etched reticle now has an adjustable brightness control to help deliver optimal visibility regardless of light conditions. Another great addition to the SkyTracker Pro is a rechargeable power source capable of over 24 hours of continuous operation on any of the SkyTracker Pro's four tracking speeds.

    The Alt-Azimuth base now features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. Because the base is removable, you can also mount the SkyTracker Pro ball-head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch threads. The SkyTracker Pro is a massive help to wide-field astrophotography and is well worth the investment to get started.

Awesome

So far so good. It's still a learning curve for me. But it's very easy to operate.

Hard Work

The Sky Tracker Pro does an excellent job, accurate and reliable. But it took me much work to learn all the tricks needed to get best results in a clear black night.

Reliable moun for the dollar

For the $$ this is hard to beat. Very smooth and quiet when tracking, battery delivers as promised, I've done a polar alignment at 12: midnight and left the unit on over night so as to do imaging of the sun the following morning, and its still tracking accurately. All I had to do was to switch to solar tracking rate and begin imaging the Sun. Light weight and fairly user friendly even in the dark of night. Only two minor issues are, its a bit light on the max payload of 6.6lbs, my canon camera and telephoto lens comes out at about 7lbs. but still it tracks accurately. Also wish it came with or could have as an accessory, a 90 degree diagonal for the finder scope, sometimes you find yourself almost standing on your head trying to lock in polar alignment, a diagonal would really help. Aside from this its a jim-dandy mount for the dollar!
