Ioptron skyguider pro with telescope


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I have been using this star tracker with a camera attached to a ball head, its very simple to setup and use. Im very happy with it. 

Now excuse my lack of knowledge. But today i mounted a small telescope and was unsure how i would move the telescope to point it where i wanted it to look.

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance. 

Matt

It works similar to an equatorial mount. If you were using a ball head for the camera and lens you'll have to replace it with the declination (DEC) mounting bracket. Install the bracket, which has a vixen mount on it and then you can mount your telescope in that. After that, you just loosen the RA clutch and the DEC screw and you can point it anywhere you want. Check the quickstart guide. It has instructions for a heavy DSLR. Instructions are identical for using a telescope.
