Create Time-Lapse Panning Videos Dual Encoder Technology on Each Axis Electronic Shutter Release Motorized Panning Head for Video Cameras Hand Controller Database of 42,900 Celestial Objects Detachable Motorized Head Cable Supplied for Canon Rebel DSLR The Sky-Watcher AllView Mount from Celestron
is a multi-purpose mount designed to be used as an alt-azimuth GoTo
computerized astronomical mount (using an optional telescope optical
tube assembly), a motorized platform for taking panoramic photographs, a
stable platform for panning while taking time-lapse video or still
images, and a motorized base for smooth panning video.
It
comes with a multi-purpose mounting bracket for attaching an optical
tube assembly, still camera, or video camera. Dual optical encoders make
sure that the mount never loses position even when moved by hand. It is
supported by a sturdy stainless steel tripod with an accessory tray.
The hand controller accesses a database of 42,900 astronomical objects.
An electronic shutter release cable for most Canon DSLR cameras is
included while other optional cables are available for alternate
cameras.
Not only can the Sky-Watcher AllView Mount be used as a
computer-controlled telescope mount, it can also be used as a motorized
tripod for photography or video recording. The AllView mount and the
panoramic functionality of the SynScan AZ hand controller work together
as a panoramic controlled mount and head. There are three modes for
shooting panoramic images: Easy Pano, Preset Pano, and Time-Lapse. The
AZ GoTo mode provides extensive computerized GoTo functionality to
assist in finding and enjoying the treasures of the night sky. The
user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900
objects.
The SynScan AZ hand control has three ports on its bottom
edge. The hand control cable has an RJ-45 with eight connecting pins on
one end and a RJ-12 connector with six pins on the opposite end. The
center port on the bottom of the hand control is used for RS-232
communications between the SynScan AZ and a computer or other device.
The DC power port allows independent use of the SynScan AZ hand control
for users who wish to browse the database or update the firmware without
connecting to the optical device.
