Description

Introducing The SkyTrackerTM Pro -- iOptron’s next generation camera tracking device! 

Upgraded from SkyTrackerTM, the Pro is more compact, small enough to fit on your palm, better precision, silent tracking, it even has a built-in rechargeable power source that runs for up to 24 hours of continuous operation. The improved precision polar scope maintains a fine engraved reticle, now features adjustable illumination with eight brightness levels. Using with our smartphone app, quick and accurate polar alignment is just a joy. 

The SkyTrackerTM Pro features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position. 

We have made big improvements on the SkyTrackerTM Pro’s removable alt-azimuth base, which features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyTrackerTM Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4” or 3/8” threads. The SkyTrackerTM Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.

Harper ★★★★★

Picked this up as a used mount for my astrophotography rig, and despite the missing polar scope, it tracked stars smoothly on my first night out. The build quality feels solid, way better than the plastic mounts I've tried before.

Claire ★★★★★

Even though it’s missing the polar scope and cable, the mount’s tracking is dead-on for my wide-field shots. The used condition was accurately described, and it works exactly as expected.

Joshua D. ★★★★☆

Got this used mount for astrophotography and it's a solid deal for the price. Works fine even without the polar scope, though you'll need to supply your own micro usb cable.
