This product is offered in anticipation of ZWO’s release of equatorial mode firmware. While the Seestar’s azimuth mount configuration is wonderfully simplistic, setup of the equatorial EZ Mount takes but an extra minute.
The EZ Mount places the scope center of gravity over the tripod’s center maximizing stability. No need for a massive tripod – Seestar’s supplied tripod is balanced and works just as well.
Keeps things simple. The thick rigid 6061 aircraft aluminum alloy offset arm is custom formed to your latitude. No adjustments needed on your part.
Mounting the scope takes only seconds. The mounting hardware is provided.
Note that the 5,000mAh Anker Nano Power Bank mounts interference free.
Peterson Engineering makes no guarantees as to capture performance. However Seestar online forums make the following claims: Equatorial mounting eliminates field rotation. Capture efficiency increases to close to 100%. Corners of images are not lost. Zenith objects are accessible. 30-second exposures do not streak and result in a improved signal to noise ratio, gathering finer detail than 10-second exposures will on faint objects.
