The Orion Sirius EQ-G GoTo Telescope Mount is less hefty than the Orion Atlas but with the same drive motors, electronic features, and functionality. This mount can hold up to a 30lb load and allows you to select from 42,900 objects in the database.
Convenient & compact Deluxe Mini 50mm Guide Scope features helical fine-focus mechanism to allow for faster, more precise guide star focus. Designed for use with the StarShoot AutoGuider (sold separately) and telescopes up to 1500mm in focal length.
The Orion StarShoot is an easy-to-use, affordable autoguider for long-exposure astrophotography. Plug it into an autoguider port on your mount and let it do the work for you. It comes with the software and cables needed to work right out of the box!
