Telescope-Solar Telescopes-Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Alt-Azimuth Solar Mount

A Standout Mount for the Solar Astronomer!

If you’re looking to create a setup specialized for solar, the Sky-Watcher
SolarQuest Alt-Azimuth Solar Mount is the perfect base to build on! Geared
entirely towards our closest star, this mount is equipped to find and center
your telescope on the Sun in a matter of moments. Set your daytime solar
expedition on the right path with this portable Sun tracker!

Please Note: This mount is for solar observation and imaging only.

Designed for quests both near and far, the Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Alt-Azimuth
Solar Mount weighs just 8.9 pounds fully assembled. This breaks down further
into three convenient parts for more ease when traveling, which can be
reassembled in a matter of moments. With intuitive controls on the mount
itself, HelioFind, and built-in GPS, training your scope on the Sun once you
have the SolarQuest assembled is just as snappy! At just about 1:1 payload to
weight capacity, this mount pairs perfectly with scopes that match its
portability focus, such as small refractors matched with white light filters
or some of the excellent small aperture dedicated Ha telescopes. Observe the
Sun’s dynamic surface features like sun spots or pull back the photosphere
curtain and see the incredible Ha detail without all the setup and alignment
hassle, with the SolarQuest!

A Unique Kind Of Star Tracker — HelioFind Solar Finder

Turning the SolarQuest into a true setup-and-go solar imaging and observing
platform is HelioFind Solar Alignment technology. Where other mounts require a
solar finder and star alignment to lock on to the Sun (with an additional
alignment for EQ mounts), this mount uses a digital solar finder to
automatically find the Sun with zero input from you. Just power the SolarQuest
on and it will locate itself and then the Sun! Once the HelioFind has located
the Sun it will lock in your view with built-in solar tracking to make viewing
and imaging the Sun for hours on end a painless experience and give a new
meaning to the name “star tracker”!

Superb Solar Setup

The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Alt-Azimuth Solar Mount is one of the leaders when
it comes to specialized solar mounts with its incredible HelioFind technology,
but it is more than just a one trick pony! With portable design and payload,
GPS guidance, and contained controls, this mount has plenty of other features
to offer.
