Product Description
This compact and portable motorized altazimuth telescope mount provides easy and automatic tracking of celestial objects. After completing a simple alignment procedure, the Orion StarBlast AutoTracker Altazimuth Mount's motors rotate the mount and attached telescope so the object you're observing will stay centered in the telescope eyepiece. This allows you to enjoy lengthy views of objects in the night sky without having to hassle with manual tracking. With the luxury of automatic tracking, you can concentrate on observing celestial objects instead of having to constantly re-aim your telescope at the target object as it drifts out of your telescope eyepiece's field-of-view. The Orion StarBlast AutoTracker Mount is equipped with a dovetail telescope attachment saddle, making it compatible with a wide variety of small telescopes. The AutoTracker Mount works with telescopes weighing up to 7.7 lbs. (including accessories), and the center of its dovetail saddle is positioned 7.2" above the mount's bottom panel to provide clearance for many optical tube lengths. On top of automated tracking, the StarBlast AutoTracker Mount also features camera cruising functionality and includes a Canon shutter release cable. This allows you to attach a Canon DSLR camera to the Mount and automatically take time-lapse photos, panoramics, and even take a series of snapshots at pre-selected positions as the AutoTracker moves the attached Canon DSLR camera.Feature
