With Octobers North American annular eclipse just around the corner (October 14th 2023) it’s time to consider getting an iOptron SkyHunter mount. Why the SkyHunter you may ask? It’s easy to take anywhere including on flights, small size and the ability to work with most camera tripods means you carry less. Then consider its simple alt-az solar tracking configuration eliminating the hassle of daylight polar alignment (If you need equatorial tracking it can do that too.). Top it off with its vixen style saddle giving you flexibility in choosing and changing the instrument used (small telescope, dslr etc.). This link is to a short demonstration of the SkyHunter in action tracking the Sun. SkyHunter solar tracking |
