No camera needed! Anyone can be an Astrophotographer with the Polarie Star Tracker Mount. View images of the Milky Way or capture the upcoming solar eclipse. This compact mount platform allows you to capture night scopes, star images, and solar events with ease. Set up is simple. The Polarie attaches to a standard camera tripod and can accept any digital camera weighing up to 7 lbs. Using the included compass on the Polarie, orient the mount to face north. The Polarie features a North Star alignment window that you point at Polaris. The Polarie can also use a polar scope or Polar Meter for alignment. Once set, the Polarie tracks with the motion of the stars to eliminate star trailing on your images resulting in sharp images of the Universe.
