The binoculars then remain in the respective position thanks to the counterweights.

A steady view can be seen despite using larger binoculars. Normally at high magnification and medium-weight binoculars weighing 500 grams or more can be difficult, especially during longer observation periods because after just a short time,  your arms get tired and trying to maintain a steady view is almost impossible. A high photo tripod with a 360deg ball joint can certainly make a significant improvement but this solution is sometimes limited in terms of the freedom of movement of the binoculars and the position of the observer.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bresser Slider binocular mount offers far more options here and means that almost all desired binocular positions can be reached effortlessly. The patented design with 2 counter-rotating support rails (traverses) is guided on special linear roller bearings inside the mount head with virtually no play. This allows the observer to vary the extension length as desired with little muscle power. The sliding resistance can be continuously adjusted using 2 adjustment screws. In the middle of the center of gravity of the slider mount there is an axis with an adjustable slip clutch for the tilt and rotation movement. All bearings work absolutely smoothly and without play. For quick leveling, there is even a 30mm fluorescent circular bubble level in the mount base, which is easy to read even in the dark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Gimbal mount head:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gimbal mount head works in a similar way to a ball head.

The mount head has several mounting holes for mounting a binocular holder using a 1\/4 inch photo screw or a standard GP prism clamp for mounting small telescopes. There are also various holes on the side walls of the mount head for additional accessories such as red light reading lamps, smartphone holders for using Sky apps such as 'Stellarium' or LED viewfinders for quickly targeting celestial objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBalancing weights:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral balancing weights enable the binoculars or telescope to be precisely balanced. 2 counterweights each weighing 2.5 kg, 1.25 kg and 0.5 kg are included with the mount and can be attached to the mounting bolts on both sides at the rear end of the mount. The weights are secured to the bolts using the 2 spring tensioners included. Instead of counterweights, a filled sandbag can be attached to the existing mounting hook.

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.

This means that any kind of long exposure of the night sky would result in the starts becoming long streaks of light instead of pinpoint stars. The Nano Tracker compensates for this movement meaning you can do much longer exposures and the stars appear pinpoint and much brighter in the photo. For an exact alignment in the northern hemisphere, simply align it with the Pole Star and the NanoTracker will be ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTip: With a compass and your smartphone´s tilt sensor, you can also set up the NanoTracker perfectly in both the northern and southern hemispheres.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTime lapse and video animation made easy:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the NanoTracker you can also create beautiful time-lapse series shots and movies, for example of landscapes with the changing shadows and clouds or stunning time lapse movies of the Milkyway.

The manual control box contains the controls where you can set the desired speed. All you need other than the Nano Tracker is a good tripod with a ball or tilt head, and of course a camera. The best choice is a DSLR camera or system camera with a fast wide-angle lens and a programmable remote shutter release.
