The iOptron SkyHunter is a lightweight, ultra-portable dual-mode EQ/AZ GoTo mount designed for mobile observers and astrophotographers seeking precision tracking without bulk. Weighing just 2.9 pounds, it can support 11 pounds of payload and operates for up to 10 hours on its built-in rechargeable battery, making it ideal for grab-and-go astrophotography and visual observing in both hemispheres. The included iPolar electronic polar scope enables quick and accurate equatorial alignment even without Polaris visibility, while the integrated WiFi and USB connectivity support smartphone/tablet control via SkySafari and iOptron Commander, or optional hand controller operation. This compact system comes complete with an EQ wedge, tripod, pier extension, and counterweight—everything needed for versatile astronomical observation from the field.
