Features
New from iOptron -- The Solar 60
TM
computerized telescope system! Now your family or
classroom can see sun spots right on a computer screen. The computerized telescope locates
and auto-tracks to keep the sun (or moon, planets, and other celestial objects) in view. This is
an ideal system to capture video or still photos of the sun spots and their movements. Set it up
at home or school and everyone can see the daily changes in the sun spots. The Solar 60
TM
comes with a threaded solar filter to switch to nightime viewing.
Alt-Azimuth Mount– The Cube™
The SmartStar
®
Solar 60
TM
GOTO telescope comes with our patented Alt-Azimuth Mount, a.k.a.
The Cube™. This compact mount design is one of the most functional and flexible units on the
market. Sky & Telescope magazine named it “Hot Product 2008”. Both axis motors are built into
a small single unit with optical encoders that provide accurate GOTO and tracking. The mount is
universally compatible with all telescopes using a dovetail connector plate. With an optional DC
adaptor you can plug your telescope mount into your car if you’re camping or at any other
remote location.
Easy to understand controller
The GoToNova
®
hand controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand
controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organized. It also has a larger LCD
screen with more lines of content compared to others. Using the hand controller and its large
LCD screen you can quickly set up your telescope and select where you want to go.
More precise speed control for viewing objects
The control system also allows you to slew the telescope at 5 different drive speeds, keeping
the object within the telescope’s viewfinder for as long as you wish.
GoToNova
®
Computerized Control System
The revolutionary GoToNova
®
computerized control system is by far the most technologically
advanced automated tracking system available on the market today. With a database of 5,000+
celestial objects including all of the more famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters — not to
mention the planets — you’ll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple push of a button.
High durability glass solar filters
Made with the most durable glass filter on the market, this system allows you to see the solar
photosphere with outstanding detail. Watch sunspots change from day to day. Follow these
magnetic giants as they rotate across the disk of the sun, it’s truly an amazing view! The thread-
on glass solar filter assures eye safety during the observation, yet easy to remove for terrestrial
and nighttime viewing. It also serves as a lens cap.
