The key to sharp, long-exposure images is accurate polar alignment—and this mount delivers it automatically. With real-world alignment accuracy of under 5 arcminutes, you can shoot up to 5-minute exposures with wide-angle lenses and over 90 seconds with telephoto lenses before any visible tracking drift. For optical observation, the tracking is even more forgiving, keeping planets, stars, and deep-sky objects centered in your field of view with zero effort. No guiding or manual adjustments required-just stable, precise motion.
