You simply place it on a tripod, set your camera on it, and the SkyTracker automatically follows the movement of the stars. This keeps your constellations sharp and dot-shaped, even at longer exposures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-SkyTracker-Pro-Montering-1.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron SkyTracker Pro black protective bag with iOptron logo for safe transportation of the mount\" class=\"wp-image-33007\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Compact and easy to use<\/strong><br>This mount is small enough to fit in your camera bag. Operation is simple: no complicated settings, just plug and go. The sturdy construction keeps your camera stable, while you enjoy a smooth rotating mechanism that tracks your images accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Smart features for better shots<\/strong><br>The SkyTracker Pro has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for 24 hours. No hassle with loose batteries. The pole finder has eight adjustable lighting levels so you can align precisely even in low light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You choose from four tracking speeds: 1\u00d7, 0.5\u00d7, Solar and Lunar. Half speed is ideal when you want to capture both the landscape in the foreground and the starry sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-SkyTracker-Pro-Montering.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron SkyTracker Pro with DSLR camera mounted in equatorial position, ready for tracking\" class=\"wp-image-33011\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flexible mounting and precise adjustment<\/strong><br>The base of the SkyTracker is removable and adjustable in height and azimuth. So you easily mount it on any tripod with standard screws. The built-in level, adjustment screws and latitude scale ensure that you can always align precisely - even without a view of the North Star. Reverse direction of rotation? No problem for use in the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solid mechanism, light travel assembly<\/strong><br>Despite its compact size, the SkyTracker Pro feels sturdy. The quality of iOptron's great astronomical mounts is reflected in every component, so you can enjoy your night photography for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Included in the box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>iOptron SkyTracker Pro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alt-az base<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Illuminated polar finder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Micro-USB charging cable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Padded carrying bag<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capacity &amp; Mechanics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Max. load capacity<\/td><td>3 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pole adjustment<\/td><td>-30\u00b0 to +65\u00b0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worm Material<\/td><td>Brass<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worm Gear Equipment<\/td><td>Aluminum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worm gear teeth (RA)<\/td><td>144<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Engine Type<\/td><td>Servo motors<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>RA shaft diameter<\/td><td>25 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worm shaft RA diameter<\/td><td>11 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worm gear RA diameter<\/td><td>74 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shaft bearings<\/td><td>4 pieces<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery &amp; Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Battery<\/td><td>Li-Polymer, rechargeable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Battery life<\/td><td>24 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Power supply<\/td><td>5 V USB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fine Tuning &amp; Tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Operating temperature<\/td><td>-15\u00b0 to +40\u00b0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Azimuth fine adjustment<\/td><td>+\/- 5\u00b0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tracking RA axis<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tracking DEC axis<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment &amp; General<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Transport bag<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Motor-powered<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tripod<\/td><td>Without tripod<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pole finder<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td>Black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Series<\/td><td>SkyTracker<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dimensions LxWxH<\/td><td>11.5 x 11.5 x 9.5 cm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td>1150 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Type<\/td><td>Camera mount<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iOptron SkyTracker Pro comes with illuminated polar finder, adjustable alt-az base, USB charging cable, built-in battery and soft transport bag -
