Acute Traverse Mount (Lifestyle Outfit)

Computer-Controlled GoTo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Astronomical Mount with Tripod

The impressively innovative Acuter Traverse Lifestyle mount is both an easily portable, computer-controlled altazimuth GoTo mount for astronomy and a powerful mount for time-lapse photography with your smartphone.

With built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi interfaces, it is designed for use without an available Wi-Fi network and can be controlled wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet using the Acuter Sky or Acuter Landscape app for iOS or Android.

The Acuter Traverse mount with the Acuter Sky app enables fully computer-controlled GoTo control of compact telescopes weighing up to 2.5 kg. It allows you to automatically navigate to the more than 11,000 objects in the celestial sphere contained in the extensive database. After entering your location coordinates into the app, follow a simple alignment procedure, and you're ready to explore the universe using the app's intuitive touchscreen menu.

Using the Acuter Traverse mount with the included time-lapse and landscape kit allows you to create creative and inspiring time-lapse photos and videos with unusual and interesting perspectives and pans using your smartphone. The app offers extensive control, including speed, recording duration, pan angle and direction, and the number of pans.
