Product description

Meet the world’s most portable high performance telescope mount. AstroTrac 360: a full‑size experience into the smallest, lightest telescope mount possible.

And not only is it compact - it’s more accurate than ever. The new AstroTrac 360’s advanced friction drives and optical encoders delivers best unguided tracking performance!

AstroTrac 360 punches above its weight of just 5 kg (11 lb) in GEM configuration. With an imaging instrument capacity of 10 kg (22 lb) it easily handles a 100 mm (4 inch) refractor or 200 mm (8 inch) carbon Ritchey Chretien with camera.

Single Arm: If you’re shooting with a 400 mm camera lens or small telescope, leave the counterweights at home. A unique sliding mechanism enables balance without counterweights.

Camera Tracker: Split the AstroTrac 360 German Equatorial or Single Arm mount and you have two of the best tracking camera mounts on the planet. Double your results or double your fun with friends and family. Climbing Everest? - just take the one.

Advanced Friction Drive: Ultimate precision. Super smooth. Zero backlash. More efficient than worm gears so less power required.

Tracking Performance: Built in premium Renishaw optical encoders guarantee high precision tracking all night long. Long unguided exposures at 400 mm focal length or more are now a reality with typical unguided tracking error of less than 5 arcseconds over 15 minutes. Enjoy big mount performance at longer focal lengths with the ST-4 autoguide port.

Pointing: Raw encoder accuracy better than 60 arcseconds over 360 degrees ensures your camera will be centred on your target.

Secure Polar Scope: The entirely re-engineered all metal polar scope snaps firmly into the AstroTrac 360.

Reticle Illumination: Dimmable built in LEDs illuminate the new AstroTrac 360 polar scope reticle, so there’s no need for cables or additional batteries.

Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi control from your phone, tablet or laptop. Works out of the box with popular 3rd party software such as SkySafari and TheSkyX. No dongles required.

The 360 Omni-Clamp answers all your AstroTrac 360 mounting questions. Clamp a scope or telephoto lens to the 360 drive in German Equatorial or Single Arm configurations with a Vixen dovetail. Attach one or more ballheads to the Tracker with back-to-back Omni-Clamps. The 360 Omni-Clamp permits quick release from the TW3100 Wedge.
