Mounts

1.000 KD

Meet the new gold standard in affordable, reliable, precision EQ mounts for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers!
With a load capacity of 44 lbs., the Atlas II improves on the venerable Atlas EQ-G by incorporating more than a dozen enhanced features and specifications.
Now belt driven for quieter operation and reduced backlash, other upgrades include a lifting handle, easier altitude and azimuth adjustment knobs, a USB port, thread-on power cable, camera control port, and a more precise polar scope reticle that works in northern and southern hemispheres.
Comes with SynScan V5 GoTo hand controller with its database of >42,000 celestial objects, Tour mode for visiting the best objects on any given night, PPEC, and more.
The mount less tripod weighs just under 40 lbs. - a beast for stability's sake but still reasonably portable, especially with the addition of the new carrying/lifting handle.
