Now anyone can enjoy the benefits of computerized GoTo pointing. The affordable Orion TeleTrack GoTo Altazimuth mount is ultra-portable and designed for telescopes weighing less than 10 lbs. Its pushbutton, LCD-screen hand controller contains a library of over 42,000 celestial objects, plus a "Tour" function that will show you the night's best objects. Offering sidereal, solar, and lunar tracking rates and slewing up to a speedy 1000x sidereal, the Orion TeleTrack's "brightest star" alignment feature makes setup easy for those unfamiliar with the night sky. The computerized hand controller features 19 illuminated buttons and a two-line backlit LCD screen; illumination levels are adjustable. The object database includes the complete Messier, Caldwell, NGC, and IC catalogs; named stars, double stars, variable stars, and SAO stars; planets; Moon; and user-defined objects. Other features include adjustable altitude slew limits to prevent telescope from contacting the mount or tripod, RA/Dec coordinate display, and an "Identify" function that tells the identity of any unknown object the telescope is pointing at. The mount's dovetail saddle accommodates the dovetail mounting plate found on many telescopes; a dovetail L-bracket with a 1/4"-20 threaded post is also included. Power is supplied by eight AA batteries (not included) or optional 12-volt field battery or AC adapter. Adjustable aluminum tripod. Weighs 9 lbs. One-year limited warranty.
