The AstroTrac TT320X is a motorized camera tracking mount that allows you to take up to two hour exposures with your film or digital SLR camera without star trails! With a load capacity of 33 pounds, the AstroTrac TT320 would be a great choice for small, short focal length telescopes. Simply add the AstroTrac camera tracking mount to a photographic tripod, attach your camera and lens, do a quick alignment, start your exposure.. and in minutes, you will have captured beautiful images of the Milky Way, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and more! Polar alignment is quick and easy with the use of the optional AstroTrac Polar Finder.
If you want it all, then take a closer look at the AstroTrac Travel System with the innovative AstroTrac TT320X - an ultra precise and compact equatorial tracking mount. It's the perfect solution for capturing great images on the go or at home with your digital SLR camera. Experience super accurate unguided tracking in a quick-to-setup and easy-to-use package. The entirely redesigned drive mechanics give the AstroTrac Travel System unguided tracking accuracy which can easily capture pin sharp stars at 500 mm or more focal length. The AstroTrac Travel System's unique fold away polar scope arm clears your equipment and the stylish wedge sets a new standard for high strength compact equatorial wedges. Able to carry up to fifteen times its own weight, now you can realize the full potential of your AstroTrac Travel System with larger lenses and telescopes. Astrophotographers on the move will love the way the pier's legs and mount pack away into the provided leg roll which in turn packs away inside the main pier column with your wedge and polar scope. The result is an easy to carry 6" diameter tube easily stowed on the back seat of your car or carried on an airplane. Package includes padded carry bag and AstroTrac Battery Pack!
