Better astronomy photos - anywhere in the northern hemisphere
Don't
just bring holiday photos back home from your trip with you, take home
stunning astronomy photos too. And it's a lot easier than you may think.
All you need is a tripod, the MiniTrack mount, a ball-head and your
camera. Reduced to the essentials it still does the job - producing good
astronomy photos that anyone can take. And it does exactly that!
60 minutes of mechanical tracking
The
MiniTrack has a clockwork heart, electronics have no place. A precision
movement accurately tracks your camera. Wind-up the MiniTrack with its
cord, like an analogue clock, and it will start tracking immediately and
continue for 60 minutes. This mount will never flag, even in freezing
conditions. Your new mount can even take a telephoto lens. It is no
coincidence that this 'expert' in wide-field photography has won the
hearts of amateur astronomers.
Like a counterweight - the powerful spring system
The
MiniTrack is extremely compact and needs no accessories such as a
counterweight. That is because it's already been built-in - in the form
of a spring system. As your camera starts to be tracked, the spring both
supports the weight and looks after the tracking. Take this mount in
your luggage on flights and leave your main mount at home.
Find the pole in a jiffy
It
is straightforward finding the Pole Star with the polar finder tube.
This 'rough' orientation is sufficient to track your camera plus lens.
Amazingly beautiful pictures are produced in a flash when carrying out a
series of bracketing exposures.
Fits onto every tripod
The
MiniTrack has two connectors - one for the tripod and another for your
camera or ball-head. Simply attach the mount to your tripod as usual
using the 1/4" screw and align the MiniTrack as you like. Alternatively,
you can mount a ball head with the 1/4" or 3/8" thread.
