iOptron SkyHunter Portable AZ/EQ GoTo System with iPolar
iOptron SkyHunter Portable GoTo AZ/EQ System
with iPolar Polar Scope
The SkyHunter from iOptron is an ultra-compact EQ/AZ GoTo mount. Weighing less than 3 pounds, the SkyHunter supports a total payload of 11 pounds! This mount features four tracking rates: 1x (sidereal), 1/2x, solar, and lunar. All tracking rates work in the northern or southern hemispheres.
Included in this package is an EQ wedge, to enable alt-azimuth and equatorial functionality. Also included is a tripod, as well as a pier extension for additional clearance. The pier extension prevents attached equipment from coming into contact with the legs of the tripod. Lastly, this package includes a counterweight and shaft, and a MiniUSB charging cable. The built-in, rechargeable Li-Poly battery allows for up to 10 hours of continuous operation.
This package also includes the iPolar electronic polar scope. With iPolar, accurate polar alignment has never been so simple! All you have to do is place the plus symbol over the graphical representation of the celestial pole's location. When these two symbols are aligned they represent a precise polar alignment, allowing you to get the best performance possible from your SkyHunter mount.
With the built-in WiFi adapter, control the SkyHunter mount with iOS or Android devices, ASCOM drivers, iOptron Commander, Sky Safari, or with an optional 8410 hand controller (sold separately).
