The Ioptron Skyguider Pro

I ordered the Ioptron Skyguider Pro to use as a portable grab and go mount. I am impressed with the built of the mount head, feels solid and is all metal construction



Instruction on assembling the mount with different configuration is straight forward, the  manual that comes with the mount is easy  to understand and detailed.


It comes with an illuminated polar scope and has different tracking rate settings. Auto guiding option is available with this mount it has an ST-4 port located under the control board. I hope future versions will be  a  Go -To mount.  Have not yet tried this mount on its tracking performance ,it is been weeks that we are having bad weather


I will be posting soon once I have this running ...
