TheBRESSER StarTracker Astronomical Photo Mount Kitis the ideal base. Not only for beginners in astrophotography, this mount is particularly well suited, but also the experts swear by acompact and easy-to-use mounttoautomatically 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 in pinpoint shape even with long exposures.
This set contains all the components required for a quick and comfortable entry into the world of astrophotography with the exception of a camera and objective lens: A stable BRESSER tripod TP-100 DX with carrying bag, the BRESSER Micro Motion Head MH-100 (polar-wedge), the BRESSER Polar Finder Scope for StarTracker PM-100 and of course the BRESSER StarTracker astrophoto mount PM-100 with ball head.
Which cameras are basically suitable for use with the BRESSER photo mount?All cameras with 1/4''(6.3mm) tripod connection thread and bulb length B for long exposure are suitable. The BRESSER StarTracker Astronomical Photo Mount PM-100 is designed for a camera with lens ofmax. 2.0 kg total weight to carry and track in polar mode.In Azimut mode also a camera weightup to 5.0kg is possible.
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 minutes and 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 thedelievered optical Polar Finder Scope,this is done quickly. After setting up the light and compact StarTracker Photo Mount, simply set the approximate latitude (pole height) and aim Polaris through the integrated Polar Finder Scope. Then mount the camera with the photo lens using the quick-release plate on 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 be controlled by aneasy digital setup on LCD screen.Low power consumptionallows up to 20 hours of operationwith just one battery charge or simply use the micro USB port for an unlimited power supply.
Typically achievable exposure times with good tracking accuracy are:16mm wide-angle lens: 5 minutes (300 sec.) , 100mm telephoto lens: 1 minute (60 sec.)
