Product Description
SmartStar-G GPS AltAzimuth Telescope Mount, Astro Blue "The Cube" Alt-Azimuth MountThe SmartStar-G comes with the patented Alt-Azimuth telescope mount, a.k.a." TheCube". This compact mount design is probably the most functional & flexible unit on the marketBoth axis motors are built into a small single unit which is universally compatible with all telescopes using a dove-tail connectionIn addition, there are no "dead spots" so you can point your telescope to ANYWHERE above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount also comes standard with AC connection. An optional DC adaptor is available so you can plug your telescope motor into your car if you're camping or at any remote locationOTA's with dovetail connection & a weight limit of less than 11 lbs.(including finder scope & camera) are compatible with the SmartStarTM-G GPS AltAzi telescope mount. (If you do not have a dovetail connection, attach your OTA using mounting rings & dovetail available at your local telescope store or the OTA manufacturer)The most easy to understand controller on the marketThe GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organizedIt also has a larger LCD screen with more lines of content compared with the competition. Using the easy-to-use hand controller & its large LCD screen, you can easily set up

A Nice Starting GOTO Telescope December 8, 2008
We got this one as a Christmas gift last year. We've never owned a telescope before. This one is very easy to use and has a very dood GOTO function. Have been used during our trips and campings. Besides, it is a very nice deco in our family room.
A decent capable telescope August 27, 2008
This is my first goto telescope and I am very pleased with it. The setup was quite easy. Goto and tracking are fairly accurate. The optics is nice and sharp; at one time I got a wrong info that the scope was an APO. Although it was not, it indeed a decent achromatic.
