iOptron's new ultra compact EQ/AZ GoTo mount -- introducing The SkyHunterTM!
Fifteen years after releasing the innovational CubeTM AZ/EQ GoTo mount, the SkyHunterTM takes the next step toward perfection.

The SkyHunterTM mount features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape combined, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres.
The SkyHunterTM mount can be controlled by an iOS or Android SmartPhone/tablet via SkySafari 6 Pro and above or iOptron Commander Lite, an optional 8410 hand controller, or a computer via ASCOM, INDI or embedded drive.
