This is a SolarQuest Mount and tripod that's in excellent condition. We tested it out in the parking lot, and it found the sun with no problem. It includes the AA battery pack; however the wire is broken - see the photo. You'll either have to fix it yourself, or you can run this mount with any power source (AC adapter or portable rechargeable battery) that has a standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm plug.
On the other hand, it does include a working Neewer Precision Tripod Leveler, a $29.95 value, and an Apache 2800 Waterproof Case for the mount head, another $29.95 value. This is a total of $590 worth of gear for just $350!
We do not have the boxes for this, so this is for in-store pickup only.
The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest solar tracking mount is lightweight and ridiculously easy to use. No need to worry about aligning your equipment the night before or early in the morning. Using its patented HelioFind solar finder and built-in GPS, SolarQuest autolevels and calculates the azimuth and altitude of the sun, all with the single push of a button. Once self-aligned, the mount locates and tracks the sun for hours at a time. SolarQuest is perfect for eclipse chasers or anyone fascinated with our closest star.
SolarQuest is for solar observation only.
