The new generation STARQUEST DX  Deluxe Equatorial Mount is a well-engineered mount that is lightweight and easy to manage, suited to both beginners and experienced observers alike. The mount, when polar aligned, allows you to easily track objects as they move across the night sky with its smoothly operated slow motion control cables. The mount has a generous payload capacity of 5kg and the fully adjustable stainless steel tripod offers excellent stability.  The mount features 360º gearing on both the right ascension and declination axes. 

An optional D.C. Motor Drive £99 (code 20940) can be installed to the R.A. axis for auto-tracking purposes in equatorial mode. (Available Nov 25)
