Skywatcher Avant mounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This tracking motor automatically keeps your telescope focused on the object you are viewing. You don't have to continuously steer. The motor keeps up with the movement of the sky, so you can continue to watch calmly. That immediately feels nicer, especially when you want to keep zooming in on one spot for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clear image, even in longer sessions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The motor runs on two AA batteries. You snap them into the built-in compartment and you're good to go. No cables. No loose boxes. Just turn it on and watch. Ideal when you want to quietly track a planet or nebula without your image slowly drifting away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation that comes naturally<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The compact housing makes the system light and easy to place. You switch between northern and southern hemispheres with one click. Convenient when traveling or using the mount elsewhere. The movement remains fluid, keeping your image stable and sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for astrophotography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The built-in autoguider connection makes the kit suitable for beginners who want to start carefully with longer exposures. Your tracking remains more accurate, so stars remain dots instead of dashes. This makes it easier to capture your first simple astro shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An upgrade that instantly improves your observations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This motor is a small addition, but you notice the difference immediately. You keep objects in focus longer. Your eyes relax. Your experience feels calmer and more natural. Perfect when you want to give your Starquest or Avant mount just that little bit more ease of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
