I paid over $700 for this kit, and was ready to learn about astro photography and astro landscape photography. However, my other life responsibilities have made it impossible to get out in the field . I am offering the entire kit at a discount in the hopes that someone with more skill and time will go and take wonderful astro landscapes and night sky photos.
Here is an excerpt from the iOptron website about the SkyTracker Pro:
Upgraded from SkyTrackerTM, the Pro is more compact, small enough to fit on your palm, better precision, silent tracking, it even has a built-in rechargeable power source that runs for up to 24 hours of continuous operation. With built-in iPolar, quick and accurate polar alignment is just a joy.
The SkyTrackerTM Pro features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position.
We have made big improvements on the SkyTrackerTM Pro’s removable alt-azimuth base, which features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyTrackerTM Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4” or 3/8” threads. The SkyTrackerTM Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.
I also have a vintage Gitzo tripod with Bogen Mount in another ad here at Craigslist that I bought to be used with this set-up.
