Tele Vue Tele-Pod Manual Altazimuth Telescope Mount w/ Sky Tour Computer
Key Features
  • "GO-TO" Capacity
  • Made in USA
Tele Vue's telescope mounts are attractive, functional setups which follow the company's philosophy of potent & portable performance.

The Tele Vue Tele-Pod Manual Altazimuth Telescope Mount with Sky Tour Computer is their smallest "GO-TO" telescope mount, and can be used effectively with any of Tele Vue's lighter telescopes such as Pronto, Tele Vue-60, Tele Vue-76, & even Tele Vue-85.  Tele-Pod sets up quickly and works great with the Air Chair.  This is perfect for using spotting scopes in celestial observing.

The Sky Tour system's incredibly simple to use: you just tell it what you want to see, and then the computer will indicate the manual altitude & azimuth movements needed until you'll find it.  No slow mechanized slewing or battery-hogging motors needed; move the scope left/right and up/down until the computer says "0" in both axes and voila - your object awaits you!
