Equatorial Mounts for Telescopes
Equatorial mounts for telescopes give you the ability to track celestial objects accurately by compensating for Earth’s rotation. This type of mount is designed to align the telescope’s rotational axis with Earth’s polar axis, allowing smooth tracking of celestial targets over extended periods.
Equatorial mounts are especially suited for astrophotography, as they enable long exposures without stars appearing as streaks. They also provide superior stability and precision for planetary and deep-sky observation. Various models are available, ranging from lightweight, portable mounts to more robust mounts for large-aperture instruments.
These mounts can be manual or motorized, with automatic tracking systems (GoTo) to quickly locate celestial objects and maintain them in the field of view. They are ideal for beginner astronomers looking to enhance their experience, as well as for experienced enthusiasts seeking precise observations or detailed astrophotography.
Choosing an equatorial mount from Astronomy Plus (German equatorial mounts, harmonic and friction drive mounts or center balanced mounts), allows you to maximize your telescope’s performance and explore the sky smoothly and accurately, benefiting from reliable control and great adaptability for all your astronomy projects.
