SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount

The iOptron SkyGuider Pro is a compact camera tracking device designed for astrophotography enthusiasts who need portable equatorial mounting. It includes an integrated iPolar electronic polar finder to simplify accurate polar alignment in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The mount offers silent tracking with a built-in rechargeable power source for extended field sessions.

Quick-lock drive and polar alignment

A quick-lock drive engagement system uses large levers for easy gear engagement and disengagement during setup. The iPolar electronic polar finder provides accurate alignment even when the pole star is obscured by clouds or horizon obstacles. An ST-4 guiding port and camera trigger port allow connection to external autoguiders and shutter control for automated imaging sequences.

Four tracking rates and hemisphere support

The mount provides four selectable tracking rates: 1X sidereal, 1/2X for combined sky and landscape shots, solar, and lunar rates. All rates function in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres without requiring hardware changes. Buyers who need a heavier payload capacity or a full GoTo hand controller with object database should consider larger equatorial mounts instead.
