SIMPLY THE STATE-OF-THE-ART
COMPUTERISED GOTO MOUNTING SYSTEMS
Tour the night sky at the touch of a button
For amateur astronomers seeking superior equatorial control and the ease of a high-precision computerised GOTO telescope mounting system, the new extra heavy-duty
SkySca PRO models are advanced mounting systems which have been thoughtfully designed for ease of operation. With the user-friendly push-button hand control, locating and viewing the treasures of the night sky becomes as easy as a walk in the park. The SynScanÔ hand control allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 13,400 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The mounts differ mainly in their physical size/weight and their subsequent payload capacity. They both come with the following advanced features that even the most discerning observers will appreciate:
