iOptron SkyTracker Pro Camera Mount with iPolar

For those having difficulty with polar alignment, particularly in the southern hemisphere, the iOptron SkyTracker Pro with integrated iPolar is the perfect solution.

Upgraded to include enhanced precision and silent tracking, the iOptron SkyTracker Pro equatorial mount is more compact (small enough to hold in the palm of your hand) when compared to the older SkyTracker model. It incorporates a built-in rechargeable power source that enables operation for up to 24 hours. In addition, with built-in iPolar, quick and accurate polar alignment becomes an easy and pleasant experience.

The SkyTracker Pro features four tracking rates: 1x or sidereal, 1/2x for sky and landscape, solar, and lunar. All four tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. iOptron has also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframe your image without disrupting the position of the camera.

Big improvements have also been made to the SkyTracker Pro's removeable alt-azimuth base, which boasts a precision bubble level, altitude degree markings, and a built-in azimuth control post. The SkyTracker Pro equatorial mount head, without the base, can also be attached directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4" or 3/8" threads. Any astrophotographer with a passion for astroscape or wide field photography will find the SkyTracker Pro to be an essential tool.
