Equatorial Mounts
The German Equatorial Mounts that are available from BuyTelescopes allow you to take great astrophotography. We have a wide variety of equatorial mounts for almost every application, from BuyTelescopes.
The new iOptron “Z” design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater natural stability. Given its payload capacity, this means the “Z” designed mount is unusually light—a nice benefit when setting up at a remote site. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.
Born out of the popular iOptron Cube and iEQ mounts, the SmartEQ mount is the ultimate Grab N’ Go German equatorial GOTO mount fitting into almost everyone’s budget.
