BINOCULAR MOUNT GO-TO

The ultimate Binocular Mount (Binoculars not included). It's not easy trying to find objects in the sky with big binoculars on a manual mount.
Sick of the contortionist positions a Parallelogram Binocular Mount puts you in?

This is a modified Meade LX90 fork mount, it has Go-To and Tracking plus you can slew at 9 different speeds using the hand controller.
If your binoculars are 45 Degree or 90 Degree his mount lets you view at a comfortable position.
Easy set up with a one or two star alignment and everything you want to look at is in the field of view within a few seconds.

Comes with 12volt cigarette lighter plug cable, Hand Controller and Tripod.

Width between binocular platform is 262mm.


Prefer local pick up but will post at buyers expense through Australia Post. If you want to use a courier service you will have to arrange it.

$550 PM Me if you are interested.

PLEASE NOTE THE BINOCULARS IN SOME OF THE PICTURES ARE NOT INCLUDED THEY ARE JUST THERE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES.

How high can the mount rise to? (Enough to use right angle binoculars while standing?)

It will point straight up and go past the zenith if needed so your 90 degree binos will have no problem looking straight up.

I mean height, not altitude. When pointed at zenith, approximately how high are the eyepieces from the ground?

And was this a DIY mod, or is there a kit that can be bought somewhere to put a binocular mount platform in an SCT fork?
