The iOptron SkyHunter EQ is the ultimate in Grab N’ Go portable mounts with GoTo functionality. The built-in Wi-Fi adapter allows for control from smartphones and tablets on both iOs and Android via SkySafari and through an upcoming iOptron dedicated app. It can also be controlled through a computer via ASCOM and INDI. The built-in battery makes it instantly operable without the need for external power source.

With a payload of 5kg for a feather weight of only 1.3kg, it is the lightest and most compact full function mount on the market. The mount can be used in either Equatorial (EQ) or Alt-Azimuth (AZ) modes. 

in EQ mode, the mount is perfect for serious Astro imaging with small telescopes.

Super quiet dual axis servomotors with optical encoders and synchronous belt drive insure accurate tracking.

Four tracking rates are available: 1x, 1/2x, solar and lunar (1x celestial tracking for imaging the night sky and stars. 1/2x speed for imaging both starry night and landscape at the same time). All four work in both northern and southern hemispheres.

 Included in the package:
  • Mount head
  • EQ wedge
  • Steel tripod (#3221)

  • Extension pier (#8041)
