Astroboy is up for sale. (mount only)
$250 ono
I've had this little GoTo mount for about 4yrs now. I cut my wide field imaging teeth on it.
All you need to get started is a dovetail bar for your camera, and away you go.
- stainless steel tripod
- Alt-Azimuth Mount– The Cube™
- Includes the GoToNovaTM Controller
- 5,000 object database plus 256 user-defined objects
- The largest LCD screen on the market with 4 lines and 21-character Hand Control with backlit LED buttons.
- Drive motor with 5-speed setting for precise tracking
- Dual-axis Servomotor
It runs off 12vt, 240vt (you need one of those plastic adaptors) or 8 AA batteries.
I took this mount with me overseas, it's so compact and light, I just put it in my small suitcase and packed my clothes around it.
I reckon it'd be a beaut little mount to use for next years Solar Eclipse too. Have it ticking over, tracking the sun, instead of chasing it with your tripod. ;)
Photos of it in action, are here, as well as helpful hints on how to get the best out of this mount.
