Sky & Telescope magazine named it “Hot
Product 2008”. Both axis motors are built
into a small single unit with optical encoders
that provide accurate GOTO and tracking.
The mount is universally compatible with all
telescopes using a dove-tail connector plate.
With an optional DC adaptor you can plug
your telescope mount into your car if you’re
camping or at any other remote location.

and its large LCD screen you can quickly
set up your telescope and select where you
want to go.

wish.
