The SmartStar-G comes with our patented Alt-Azimuth telescope mount, a.k.a. The Cube. This compact mount design is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit which is universally compatible with all telescopes using a dove-tail connection.

In addition, there are no ”dead spots“ – so you can point your telescope to ANYWHERE above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount also comes standard with AC connection.

An optional DC adapter is available so you can plug your telescope motor into your car if you’re camping or at any remote location.

Made of 1-inch heavy-duty stainless steel the SmartStar Tripod is sturdy yet elegant, and gives the user unparalleled stability during operation.   Solid construction joints keep your mount locked securely.

With an all-metal support system your valuable telescope will keep still even on a windy night.
