Orion - Mounts & Tripods

Worthy of the Most Demanding Observing and Imaging Applications
The new standard in affordable, heavy-duty GoTo mounts, the Atlas EQ-G is
now available with GoTo or dual-axis (non-GoTo) hand controller. The mount
supports tube assemblies of up to 40 lbs. and boasts 2"diameter stainless
steel legs. Internal DC stepper motors offer nine slew rates ranging from
2x to 800x sidereal and three tracking rates: sidereal, lunar, and solar.

With the GoTo controller, select from 13,436 objects and command the mount
to automatically pinpoint them. Backlash compensation and programmable PEC
provide the responsiveness for guiding and the tracking accuracy needed for
astrophotography. There's also a jack for a CCD autoguider.

Mount includes RS-232 interface cable, two 11-lb. counterweights,
illuminated polar-axis scope, and 13" dovetail mounting bar. Requires
external 12-volt DC power source or AC-to-DC wall adapter (see Suggested
Accessories). Weighs 54 lbs., not including counterweights.

Makes Binocular Astronomy Easier, More Fun
Stargazing with binoculars is an idyllic pleasure.  All the more so with
our Paragon-Plus Binocular Mount.  It's a parallelogram-style mount that
comes complete with our sturdiest professional field tripod, the rock-solid
Paragon-Plus XHD (less pan head), for one very attractive price.

The mount's silky smooth motion provides relaxing views for hours on end
with binoculars as large as 80mm in aperture.  It eliminates arm strain and
shakiness, and allows you to aim your binocular high overhead, even to the
zenith, while you stand or sit comfortably underneath.  Ahhh!

What's more, you can raise and lower the binocular while staying fixed on
a target, a wonderful feature when two or more people are observing
together.
