Fornax LighTrack-II Travel Mount for Astrophotography

This mount allows for tracking of telephoto lenses and small telescopes with highest accuracy. You can continously expose up to 107 minutes. By using the autoguider port, you can compensate for slight imprecisions in polar alignment and thus be able to use even longer focal lengths for astrophotography.

♦ The LighTrack II can be used world-wide, it is switchable between northern or southern hemisphere.

♦ Beside the normal tracking speed (sidereal), solar and lunar speed are also available. Furthermore, you can also use half sidereal speed for tracking. This allows spectacular celestial photographs with sharp foreground objects (TWAN).

♦ At the bottom side, the LighTrack II has a female 3/8" thread and an adapter to 1/4". With this, you can attach the mount to the optional wedge, but also to good photo tripods with pan head.

♦ The camera is attached via an optional ball head which is mounted to the top side via the 3/8" thread.
 

Areas of application of the LighTrack II mount:

♦ Mobile astrophotography - even with air travel
♦ Solar eclipses
♦ Accurate tracking platform for spotting scopes and small telescopes for starting with astronomy
