Product Description
Promotional Price Effective 11/24/08-12/31/08 SmartStar-A GPS AltAzimuth-Equatorial Dual Mount - Astro Blue Dual Mount: Alt-Azimuth & German Equatorial - The Cube The SmartStar-A comes with our patented Dual Mount: Alt-Azimuth & German Equatorial, a.k.a. The Cube. This compact mount design is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit which is universally compatible with all telescopes using a dove-tail connection. The mount can be level for Alt-Azimuth or locked into position for German Equatorial. In 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 location. Compatible with most tubes on the market Schmidt-Cassegrains 8" and below Maksutov-Cassegrains 150mm and below Newtonian reflectors (if more than 40" may block tripod at certain spots) Refractors (not more than 40") OTA's with dovetail connection and a weight limit of less than 11 lbs.
