Product Overview
The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest solar tracking mount is lightweight and ridiculously easy to use. No need to worry about aligning your equipment the night before or early in the morning. Using its patented HelioFind solar finder and built-in GPS, SolarQuest autolevels and calculates the azimuth and altitude of the sun, all with the single push of a button. Once self-aligned, the mount locates and tracks the sun for hours at a time. SolarQuest is perfect for eclipse chasers or anyone fascinated with our closest star.
SolarQuest is for solar observation only.

Skywatcher Solarquest
Works better than expected, I mounted my 80mm triplet and did a rough balance, leveled the tripod (has built in bubble level) turned it on and it aligned and pointed at the sun in twenty seconds. Very pleased.
