The EQ-1 mount:
This equatorial mount already offers the possibility to adjust optical systems exactly to the North Star. The polar distance with respect to latitude can be adjusted for each observation site. Through the fine movement of the right ascension and declination axes it is possible to adjust and track objects sensitively, a counterweight ensures the correct balance of the optical system.
We supply the EQ-1 mount in two variants, with floor tripod or table tripod; details can be found in the technical documentation. The floor tripod can be adjusted and positioned with a height between 70cm and 120 cm, in the accessory holder you can place eyepieces or other accessories. The table tripod is very compact and lightweight, making it the ideal choice for excursions or travel. The smaller EQ mount is extremely light and compact, it fits in almost any travel bag. Beginners can mount it without any problems, even children are able to use it. As an option we offer a tracking motor for mounting on the straight ascent axis.
