So you get a stable, reliable base for both visual observation and astrophotography - without having to lift a heavy setup.
Fast and precise alignment
With the built-in iPolar electronic polar finder, you accurately align your telescope in minutes. No complicated operations or guesswork - just point, adjust and done. You immediately benefit from stable tracking, so your images remain sharp and clear even at long exposure times.
Smart design for comfortable use
