The #8903 GoTo mount is one of the strongest mounts of iOptron. It carries telescopes up to 15 kg weight. A Celestron C11, a refractor with 150 mm aperture or a 10" RC are easily carried by the MiniTower, despite this mount is even more portable than an EQ5.
Level and Go - easy set up before observing!
The new routine promises an especially simple yet high-precise telescope alignment before the observations. It is so easy:
- Set the mount up exactly horizontal, no problem thanks to the built-in precision level indicator.
- Turn on the the power.
- Due to the on board 32 channel GPS receiver, the AZ Mount Pro always knows the exact global position.
- Automatically the mount slews the instrument to an easily identifiable bright object in the night sky. Simply center this object, confirm, and you can start observing.
Over 130,000 objects at the night sky are waiting for you.
