Visit Sky-Watcher SKYTEE-2 is a robust alt-azimuth mount designed for amateur and advanced astronomers wishing to use two optical tubes simultaneously. Thanks to its reinforced design, it can withstand up to 15 kg per side, offering great versatility for visual observation configurations.
This mount is particularly appreciated for comparative observations, the use of two complementary instruments (e.g. telescope + telescope) or for multi-user observation sessions.
The SKYTEE-2 allows you to mount two telescopes in parallel, each attached to a Vixen/Sky-Watcher turntable included on each side of the mount. This unique configuration offers great freedom of use, especially when comparing different magnifications or fields of view on the same celestial object.
This capability makes it an ideal solution for demanding observers who want to optimize their experience without constantly changing instruments.
SKYTEE-2 is designed as a mount heavy duty, This is achieved through the use of a high-strength stainless steel housing, offering excellent mechanical stability even under heavy loads. Its solid structure effectively limits vibrations, guaranteeing more comfortable viewing, even at high magnification.
It is equipped with a counterweight with Sky-Watcher-compatible bar, This allows precise balancing of the optical tubes. This improves the fluidity of movements and reduces the effort required when pointing at celestial objects.
The SKYTEE-2 mount is equipped with micrometric controls on both axes (azimuth and altitude). These slow worm gear movements for smooth, precise tracking of celestial objects.
These fine adjustments make it easy to keep an object in the field of view, even at high magnification, which is particularly useful for planetary or lunar observation.
In contrast to equatorial mounts, the SKYTEE-2 adopts a more compact configuration alt-azimutale intuitive, This simplicity makes it very quick to set up, with no need for complex set-up. This simplicity makes it very quick to set up, with no need for complex set-up.
This makes it ideal for spontaneous observation sessions, quick trips and users who prefer simplicity and efficiency.
The SKYTEE-2 is compatible with the 1.75″ stainless steel tripod used on EQ5 and HEQ5 mounts. This compatibility guarantees a solid, stable base, even with heavy configurations.
This compatibility also means that users already equipped with Sky-Watcher mounts can re-use their tripods, making them a flexible, cost-effective solution.
SKYTEE-2 is particularly suitable for :
Its ability to support two heavy instruments makes it a unique solution for enthusiasts wishing to explore different configurations without compromising on stability.
