Computerized GoTo Telescope Mounts
A computerized GoTo telescope mount automatically points your telescope to objects in the night sky and tracks them as the Earth rotates. After a simple alignment on a few bright stars, a GoTo mount can locate thousands of planets, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters, saving time and making observing far more productive for beginners and experienced astronomers alike.
Explore Scientific GoTo telescope mounts are powered by our PMC-Eight control system, an open-architecture platform with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity that lets you control your mount from a smartphone, tablet or Windows PC using the ExploreStars app or ASCOM-compatible astronomy software. Equatorial GoTo mounts such as the iEXOS-100 and EXOS2-GT provide the accurate tracking needed for long-exposure astrophotography.
When choosing a computerized telescope mount, match its payload capacity to your telescope and camera, leaving extra margin for astrophotography. Consider portability, power requirements and whether you plan to use autoguiding. Add counterweights, a polar finder and a portable power bank to complete your setup. A GoTo mount transforms how you explore the sky, letting you spend more time observing and imaging and less time searching.
