STARQUEST DX Deluxe equatorial mount: precision and comfort

It includes :

  • a 360° gear system on both axes
  • clutches for precise control
  • graduated circles for easy scoring

Its load capacity of 5 kg provides excellent stability, enhanced by a adjustable stainless steel tripod robust. An optional motor for the RA axis is available for even more comfortable automatic tracking.
