... Astrophotography does not have to be a battle of material, but it can only be fun
... accurate tracking - easy operation and autoguiding connections


IOptron's ultra-portable SkyGuider makes astro photography with long exposure times easier than ever. Take impressive pictures of the night sky with your SLR camera or with your CCD camera. Accurate results that also appeal to professionals without material battle - that's what the SkyGuider stands for.

A high-precision motor, normally used only in larger astronomical mounts, compensates for the rotation of the earth around its axis. The stars remain punctiform, even with very long exposure times. If you use longer recording focal lengths, you can further increase the tracking accuracy, thanks to the built-in ST-4 level autoguiding connection, which houses all commercially available autoguiders.

The illuminated Polsucher allows a very accurate installation in a few minutes. For owners of SmartPhones a very nice app is offered.
