Product description

A complete, lightweight telescope mount featuring smooth alt-azimuth motions and optional encoders to add object locating capability. Perfect for our smaller, travel-easy refractors.

Telescope height ranges from 29" to 60+". Aluminum tripod legs are 3-section, black anodized, rubber-tipped feet and spiked feet included. Features include bubble-level, glove-friendly locking clamps, and included carry bag.

The self contained head comes with a handle, accepts optional encoders, and can be used on any camera tripod with either a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 stud. It is the most portable Digital Setting Circle-ready mount head available. We highly recommend the Eyepiece Caddy Set accessory since the Tele-Pod Mount and standard camera tripods do not have accessory trays.

Encoder Mounts

Altitude encoder on fork and azimuth encoder between forks.

Our encoder mount packages include encoders pre-installed on our Tele Vue mounts along with the cables necessary to work with your Digital Setting Circles or computer (DSC / Computer). This equipment greatly enhances your observing fun and capability of your telescope. We also sell an encoder kit (STN-4001) for existing mounts without encoders. For utmost convenience, we recommend the optional Eyepiece Caddy to hold your eyepieces within arms reach.
