Simply follow the sun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher AZ Mount Solarquest makes solar observation easy and safe. You set it on a stable tripod and point your solar telescope roughly at the sun. The mount does the rest. At the touch of a button, it looks for the sun and tracks it automatically. This way you won't miss a single detail of sunspots, solar eclipses or planetary transits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart technology for precise tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to HelioFind\u2122, the mount uses GPS and time to calculate the sun's altitude and azimuth. The telescope is automatically positioned and accurately tracks the sun. The built-in sun sensor keeps the image in the eyepiece continuously. This keeps your image sharp and stable without manual adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light, quiet and portable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Solarquest is compact and easy to carry. It runs quietly, so you won't see any vibrations in your image. You can run it on batteries or connect it to 12V DC. Perfect for observation at home or on location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe and versatile use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Combine the mount with a small refractor and protective solar filters to view the sun safely in white light. For H-alpha or calcium H light, use the DayStar QUARK filters. That way you can always see active material on the sun. The AZ Mount forms a modular system that can be easily adapted to your observing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
