Description
Compact, silent and precise, the iOptron SkyGuider Pro Full Package features adjustable illumination as well as full integration with a proprietary iOS app for fast, accurate polar alignment and star tracking. Four tracking rates—solar, lunar, celestial and half-celestial—work in both northern and southern hemispheres for wide-field sky-scape and astrophotography. The tracking head can be mounted directly to any standard tripod with 1/4" or 3/8” threads, and runs for up to 20 hours on a rechargeable battery. The removable alt-az base features a bubble level and altitude degree markings for precision image adjustment. The mounting bracket maintains an 11-pound payload capacity, allowing for heavier cameras and lenses, or even a lightweight telescope.
