The EZ Mount is designed to take advantage of Dwarf Lab\u2019s equatorial mode firmware.\u00a0 Setup of the equatorial EZ Mount is wonderfully quick and simple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Lightweight and compact, the thick rigid 6061 aircraft aluminum alloy offset arm is custom formed to your latitude.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Dwarf Lab software does not require ultra precise equatorial alignment.\u00a0 If the tripod is leveled the latitude-customized mount should be accurate to within a degree.\u00a0 And accurate azimuth adjustment is achieved simply by swiveling the mount at the point where it attaches to the tripod.\u00a0 A tripod leveling base is unnecessary.\u00a0 Experience shows that\u00a0 if one leg of the tripod is oriented north or south it\u2019s best to eliminate the leveling base and to make fine declination adjustment by adjusting the leg angle or leg height.<\/p>

The EZ Mount places the scope center of gravity over the tripod\u2019s center maximizing stability.\u00a0\u00a0No need for a massive tripod or a counterweight \u2013 Seestar\u2019s supplied tripod is balanced and works just as well.<\/p>

The EZ Mount positions the telescope lower\/closer to the tripod than a conventional telescope wedge, and the closer the scope is positioned to the the tripod head the less the leverage for wind induced vibration.<\/p>

Mounting the scope takes only seconds.\u00a0 \u00a0The mounting hardware is provided for tripods with both 3\/8-inch and 1\/4-inch mounting studs.\u00a0 No extra adapters or modifications are required.<\/p>

Equatorial (EQ) Mode on the DWARF MINI lets you track deep-sky objects smoothly by aligning the telescope with Earth\u2019s rotation.\u00a0 Tracking in EQ mode is more accurate and there is no frame rotation.\u00a0 Exposures longer than 30 seconds will not be rejected by the live stacking software due to star trails.\u00a0 Frames do not rotate so there is no need to crop corners when stacking for an hour or more.\u00a0 And unlike AZ mode, the Dwarf will track accurately and efficiently toward zenith.\u00a0 You can do longer exposures, you can image through the zenith and take total live stack times of many hours.<\/p>

Traveling?\u00a0 1\u00b0 latitude = 60 miles (97 km)\u00a0 Got a dark site 240 miles (386 km) north or south?\u00a0 Tilting the tripod out of level by 4\u00b0 compensates for your change in latitude and is barely noticeable.\u00a0 \u00a0The EZ Mount is precisely formed for your home location but that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t travel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
