About this product

Model:  iop_skyhunter_az
Part Number:  SHAZ

The new Sky Hunter AZ ultra compact mount from Ioptron is a very welcome addition to the field of ultra-portable imaging platforms.

Fifteen years after releasing the innovational Cube AZ/EQ GoTo mount, the SkyHunter takes the next step toward perfection.

It is the lightest and most compact full-function portable goto mount in iOptron's exceptional history.

Weighing in at only 2.9 lbs (including internal rechargeable battery), the SkyHunter can support an 11 lbs payload in equatorial and alt-azimuth modes. 

Four tracking rates are available, 1x or sidereal, 1/2x for sky and landscape combined, solar and lunar. All four work in both the northern and southern hemispheres. 

The SkyHunter can be controlled via an iOS or Android SmartPhone/tablet, an optional 8410 hand controller, or a computer via ASCOM, INDI or embedded drive.
