The BRESSER EXOS-2 GoTo Equatorial Mount is an excellent compact mount ideal for use with small to medium sized telescope. This EQ mount has tracking motors in both axes that follow celestial objects very precisely. The handbox with GoTo works reliabley and controls the mount in every situation. Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The supplied battery pack (12 V) is conveniently fastened to the tripod shelf and takes eight size "D" batteries (not supplied). Alternatively, the mount can be used with a mains PSU or external 'Power Pack'.
The Startracker GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes, and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope. Just push the button and the GoTo System will find planets, nebulae or galaxies for you and position your telescope automatically and precise. The GoTo System database includes thousands of astronomical objects.
EXOS-2 is also well suited for use as a travel mount. The head, minus the counterweight shaft weighs only 5kg. The total weight of the complete system is only 15kg.
For Astrophotography the EXOS-2 features an ST-4 port. Combine it with any of our compact imaging scopes and we think you will have an excellent small imaging system that takes up little space.
