This mount will automatically compensate for the natural rotation of the earth. The built-in tracking motor rotates the saddle-mounted camera precisely against the earth's rotation and thus the stars remain in pinpoint shape even with long exposures. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you already own a sturdy photo tripod with a video tilt head you can use the photo mount's head directly with the 1\/4 inch \u0026amp; 3\/8 inch photo thread holes.

The Bresser Star Tracker Astronomical Photo Mount PM-100 is designed for a camera \u0026amp; lens of max weight 2kg total to track in polar mode. In Azimut mode a weight up to 5.0kg is possible. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLarge aperture, wide-angle lenses are ideal for astrophotography and a shot with a wide-angle lens can be exposed for up to several minutes and the stars will remain sharp, allowing you to capture some of the fainter details in night sky targets such as the Milkyway. However the Polar alignment must be extremely accurate for long exposure lengths but thanks to the integrated pole finder tunnel, this is done quickly and easily. After setting up the light and compact Star Tracker Photo Mount, simply set the approximate latitude (pole height) and aim Polaris through the integrated pole finder tunnel. Then mount the camera with the photo lens using the quick-release plate on the supplied ball head - With the ball head, the camera can pointed to any section of the sky.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tracking is carried out by a precise stepper motor, which is controlled by an easy digital display screen.

When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope, there is nothing that compares to a German equatorial mount because it will follow objects as they rise in the east and set in the west. Before you can track an object, you need to find it, and that objective can be daunting when you’re faced with a vast expanse of inky black sky. The iEXOS-100 puts a powerful GOTO system at your finger tips that takes the frustration out of navigating the night sky. This integrated version of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight™ system transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for seamless images and accurate tracking. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough it is internally complex, the GOTO system can be easily operated from your own Apple, Android or Windows tablet using the ExploreStars app, which has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. The iEXOS-100 has locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod. Other features include a bracket for holding the battery pack, which powers the PMC-Eight system™ through 8 C batteries (not included); two 1 kg counterweights for balancing; and glow-in-the-dark markers on certain points of the mount and tripod so you can stay oriented with your setup at night.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eImportant Note:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo start using the ExploreStars app, download the free app and download the celestial data set that contains the astronomical catalogs, reference images, and reference text.

This is because you need to have multiple exposures of several minutes if you want to photograph the stars. As our earth is always turning on its axis, the stars keep moving as time passes and as a result, in the photo become they long streaks of light on photographs. Today’s digital technology gives us the option of obtaining shorter exposure times by increasing the sensitivity of the sensor, but, unfortunately, this dramatically increases picture noise and the picture becomes very noisy and harsh. This makes it extremely difficult to take beautiful images of the night sky. For this reason, the Vixen company has developed the Polarie Star Tracker, which eliminates the problem of star migration. When you attach your camera to the Polarie, the device will track in the opposite direction of the earth’s rotation and this allows for sharp, point-like images of the starry sky even when using very long exposure times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multi-functional mode dial is adjustable for sky- and landscape-, moon-, sun- and star-tracking.
