One complaint some users have about the SkyGuider Pro is the latitude base adjustments aren't as precise as they would like. This attractive and rock-solid Vixen-style base from William Optics is an ideal upgrade. Precisely and 100% CNC manufactured, this base improves the mount stability and facilitates adjustment and control of the mount position and tracking. The look and feel of this base makes it an ideal match for the William Optics RedCat 51 optical tube, but it works with any small telescope with a Vixen mounting rail.

Note: The base is adjustable between high and low latitude settings by moving a stopper block with a hex wrench.

  • The High Latitude setting is suitable for locations from 32 degrees to 59 degrees latitude.
  • The Low Latitude setting is suitable for locations from 4 degrees to 34 degrees. (Useful in Hawaii, South Texas, Florida and international locations.)
