SkyGuider Pro And an extremely light frame for tracking with an interchangeable lens camera or a small telescope. It allows longer exposure times and therefore shooting fascinating panoramic images of the night sky.
The SkyGuider Pro mount is the big sister of the popular one iOptron SkyTracker Pro mount , and allows the use of cameras with important objectives, up to 5 kilograms in weight . For this to be possible, the SkyGuider Pro It features a more robust right ascension axis, larger worm wheels, and a counterweight for chamber balancing.
Furthermore, instead of the counterweight it is possible to mount a second camera, in order to observe the sky with two different focal lengths. This second chamber can weigh up to 3 kilograms .
The mount is designed for the use of the optional hand control Go2Nova and even for automatic tracking via ST-4 port.
There SkyGuider-Pro It is equipped with integrated batteries lithium-polymer , rechargeable via USB.
So that the mount SkyGuider-Pro performs correct tracking, its rotation axis must correspond to the Earth's rotation axis. To do this, simply aim at the North Star which, by a quirk of nature, indicates with sufficient precision the pivot of the Earth's rotation on the celestial vault. Aiming is supported by a telescope integrated into the axis of the SkyGuider-Pro , said polar finder . This is equipped with a reticle illuminated which allows you to identify the polar star, and therefore to orient yourself easily.
You will probably use the standard tracking speed most of the time, to keep the stars within the field of view. However, it is also possible to set the speed of the Moon or the Sun. In this regard, another option is also very interesting: if you want to photograph both the stars and the countryside, or the houses in the background, you can select half sidereal speed . In this way the stars will remain point-like, without having blurry objects in the background.
For all four types of speed it is also possible to reverse the direction of rotation, so that the mount SkyGuider-Pro also functions in the southern hemisphere . This is an important feature, given that the SkyGuider-Pro it's an excellent one travel mount !
Electronic polar finder: you will never have to bow and crawl under the mount again! With this accessory, you can perform comfortably and with a lot of precision the polar alignment of the mount on the screen. The electronic viewfinder has a integrated camera . It shows you the position of the north celestial pole and the position of the polar axis of the mount on your notebook or PC. Simply bring the two points into alignment using the mount's azimuthal and parallactic adjustment screws - done!
The position of the north celestial pole deviates slightly from the position of the North Star. The electronics calculate the position based on the time and date. Thanks to the camera's sensitivity and large field of view, polar alignment succeeds even with an approximately correct mount.
It also works in the southern hemisphere ! Furthermore, if you are at low latitudes, atmospheric refraction is taken into account.
Attention: in this version with iPolar the optical polar finder and tripod are not included in the shipment!
