TheBRESSER photo mountis the ideal base. Not only for beginners in astrophotography, this mount is particularly well suited, butalso the experts swear by a compact and easy-to-use mount to automatically compensate for the natural rotation of the earth.The built-in tracking motor rotates the saddle-mounted camera precisely against the earth's rotation and thusthe stars remain punctiform even with long exposures.
If you already own a sturdy photo tripod with a video tilt head you can use the photo mount's head directly with the1/4 inch & 3/8 inch photo thread holes. The pole height (latitude) is then adjusted by the video tilt head.The photo-mount with tripod and polar wedge are also available as a bundle - Product No.: 4964110
Which cameras are basically suitable for use with the BRESSER photo mount ?
All cameras with ¼ inch (6.3mm) tripod connection thread and bulb length" B "for long exposure are suitable.
TheBRESSER photo mountis designed for a camera with lens ofmax. 2.5 kg total weightto carry and track.Large aperture, wide-angle lenses are ideal for the beginning,because the requirements for tracking accuracy accumulate with increasing focal length and exposure time. Thus,a shot with wide-angle lens can be exposed for up to several minutesand the stars remain punctiform without problems. For example, with a 200mm telephoto lens the polar alignment of the photo mount must be exactly right. But thanks to the optical pole finder, this is done quickly.
After setting up thelight and compact photo mount, simply set the approximate latitude (pole height) to the scale and aim Polaris through the illuminated pole finder scope. Then mount the camera with the photo lens using thequick-release plateon the supplied ball head.With the ball head, the camera can be aligned and determined at any time on any section of the sky.As soon as the tracking motor is switched on, long-time exposure can be started immediately.This does not even take 5 minutes ...
The tracking is carried out by aprecise stepper motor, which can also be movedvia the hand box with 2- or 32-fold speed in forward and reverse.Thus, the sky section can be adjusted even more precisely. Low power consumptionallows up to 50 hours of operationwith just one battery charge.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Teleextender 2x 31.7mm/1.25"
£105.00*
With teleextenders it is possible to extend the effective focal length of a telescope system, resulting in higher magnification for the observation of the moon, the planets or small Deep-Sky objects with the same eyepieces. So you can use the advantages of eyepieces with longer focal length - such as the bigger eye distance and the more relaxed observing comfort - at high magnifications also.These teleextenders incorporate a telecentric optical design that deliveres a excellent image sharpness over the whole field of view and are premium choices for visual observations and astrophotography. The combination of excellent fully multicoating with superior optical design makes the Focal Extenders superior to classic Barlow lenses.Features: Suitable for visual observations and astrophotographyDoubling the effective total focal length of the telescopeFour lens telecentric design Fully multicoatedFilter thread for color or nebula filters
