The improved precision polar scope maintains a fine engraved reticule, now features adjustable illumination with eight brightness levels. Using with our smart phone app, quick and accurate polar alignment is just a joy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SkyTracker Pro features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1\/2X for sky and landscape, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have made big improvements on the SkyTracker Pro’s removable alt-azimuth base, which features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyTracker Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1\/4” or 3\/8” threads. The SkyTracker Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll metal structure with ABS covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttaches to a camera tripod with 3\/8” or 1\/4” threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts cameras weighing up to 3 kg (6.6 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent tracking for smooth camera motion, perfect for long-term exposures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable alt-azi base with fine latitude and azimuth adjusters for easy polar alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible mounting post for both 3\/8” and 1\/4” threaded ball head mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes iOptron AccuAlign\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e dark-field illuminated polar scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable polar scope illumination with eight brightness levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 tracking speed (1X, 1\/2X, solar and lunar). 1X celestial tracking for imaging the sky and stars;
