Vixen - SkyPod with Tripod

The Skypod is a unique portable alt-azimuth computer controlled "Go To" mount that evolved from the very
successful Vixen Sphinx mount. (Image shows Skypod with optional tabletop stand) The Skypod incorporates a
compact computer controlled Alt-Az system that automatically slews the telescope from one object to another.
The 27,000 plus object data base provides an endless variety of object to view and is upgradeable.

This new and portable GoTo travel mount uses the modified Starbook S hand controller that offers the same
practical user concept of the Sphinx controller. A display will show you a map of the sky so that you always
know where you are.

The controller is integrated into the mount. You can take it off for remote control, but you can always put
it back for save storage and transport. This means that for transport you can avoid all the separate small
parts that are otherwise easily lost.
