Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Solar Tracking Mount with HelioFind Solar Fi...
The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Solar Tracking Mount is lightweight and ridiculously easy to use. No need to worry about aligning your equipment the night before or early in the morning. Using its patented HelioFind solar finder and built-in GPS, SolarQuest automatically levels and calculates the azimuth and altitude of the sun, all with the single push of a button. Once self-aligned, the mount locates and tracks the sun for hours at a time. SolarQuest is perfect for eclipse chasers, educators who teach science and astronomy during the day, or anyone fascinated with the nearest star.
Effortless Solar Viewing
If you are tired of wasting half the day not staring into space, can’t wait until the sun goes down to start your observing sessions, need to fulfill those science curriculum standards for your classroom, or are already planning your next total solar eclipse road trip, nothing makes observing the home star as easy and engaging as SolarQuest from Sky-Watcher.
Solar Marvels
Ideal for observing sunspots, planetary transits, transits of the International or Chinese space stations, and solar eclipses with a white-light solar filter. Or, attach an H-Alpha solar filter and observe the roiling surface of the sun directly, along with tracking the daily changes in stormy prominences, filaments, plages, and even solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Auto-Tracking Solar Viewer
The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Solar Tracking Mount is an Alt-Az motorized mount designed for safe solar viewing, featuring an 11lbs payload capacity and a V-style dovetail. It includes HelioFind auto alignment and tracking, a built-in 8-way joystick for centering the sun, and an adjustable-height aluminum tripod with 1.25-inch diameter legs. Powered by 8 AA batteries (not included) or the included 12V adapter, it also has a built-in GPS for precise tracking.
