It allows for longer exposure times, making it possible to capture \u003cb\u003efascinating panoramic images\u003c\/b\u003e of the night sky. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SkyGuider Pro mount is the big brother of the popular iOptron SkyTracker Pro mount and allows the use of cameras with heavy lenses, up to \u003cb\u003e5 kilograms in weight\u003c\/b\u003e. To make this possible, the \u003ci\u003eSkyGuider Pro\u003c\/i\u003e is equipped with a more robust right ascension axis, larger worm gears, and a counterweight for balancing the camera. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurthermore, a second camera can be mounted in place of the counterweight, allowing you to observe the sky with two different focal lengths. This second camera can weigh up to \u003cb\u003e3 kilograms\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe mount is prepared for use with the optional \u003ci\u003eGo2Nova\u003c\/i\u003e hand controller and even for automatic tracking via an ST-4 port. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSkyGuider-Pro\u003c\/i\u003e is equipped with built-in \u003cb\u003elithium-polymer\u003c\/b\u003e batteries, rechargeable via USB. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the \u003ci\u003eSkyGuider-Pro\u003c\/i\u003e mount to perform correct tracking, its axis of rotation must correspond to the Earth's axis of rotation. To do this, simply aim at the North Star which, by a whim of nature, points to the pivot point of the Earth's rotation in the celestial sphere with sufficient precision. Pointing is supported by a scope integrated into the axis of the \u003ci\u003eSkyGuider-Pro\u003c\/i\u003e, known as a \u003cb\u003epolar scope\u003c\/b\u003e. This is equipped with an \u003cb\u003eilluminated\u003c\/b\u003e reticle that allows you to locate the North Star and thus orient yourself with ease. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou will likely use the standard tracking speed most of the time to keep the stars within the field of view. However, it is also possible to set the speed for the Moon or the Sun. In this regard, another option is also very interesting: if you wish to photograph both the stars and the countryside or houses in the background, you can select half-sidereal speed. This way, the stars will remain point-like without having blurred objects in the background. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor all four speed types, it is also possible to reverse the direction of rotation, so that the \u003ci\u003eSkyGuider-Pro\u003c\/i\u003e mount also works in the \u003cb\u003eSouthern Hemisphere\u003c\/b\u003e.
