Merlin Deluxe electronic tracking mount (please note this item is mounting and tripod only and does not include a telescope).
Now you can get the amazing features of a electronic tracking mount for use with your own telescope! This stunning telescope mounting will give your scope amazing tracking functions and allow you to find and follow terrestrial targets (animals, ships etc) with stunning ease and allow you to track astronomy targets by counteracting the rotation of the Earth completely automatically.
For night time use the buttons of the handset are illuminated with a soft red glow.
Astro Track mode
Simply press two buttons together to switch the Merlin MF mount to astronomy mode and the on-board motors automatically compensate for the constant rotation of the Earth so that the object (planet, galaxy etc) appears stationary in the eyepiece of your telescope and allows you to study it in detail.
Ideal mount for all small scopes
Ideal for use with all spotting scopes, most small astro telescopes and is particularly suited for use with specialist solar observation telescopes like the Coronardo PST.
