As I’ve grown to love astrophotography,

I’ve spent countless hours searching for the

“perfect” components for my imaging setup.

Telescopes and mounts seem to get larger

and heavier each time I upgrade, and I’m

striving for that mythical “last one I’ll ever

need.” Just when I hit what I can only hope

was rock bottom, I got a small package in the

mail that changed everything. My iOptron

SkyTracker arrived without much fanfare. In

my world of PC-controlled, auto-g

uided,

ultra-collimated, photon-counting, pixel-

stacking nirvana, where would this device fit

in? Heck, it didn’t even have periodic error

correction. I set it aside, hoping to get to it at

some point.

It took me several more weeks to realize

that I was bored. I’d spent all my time amass-

ing a fantastic collection of imaging gear, and

gathering countless sub-exposures. At the

end of the day, staring at a computer screen

attached to a telescope pointing at the same

pinpoint o

f the sky all night just got to be

monotonous. It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy it

anymore, just that I needed a break from the

old routine.The SkyTracker proved to be the

most fun I’ve ever had with astronomy.

It arrived in a box that contained two

smaller boxes. One had the SkyTracker and

polar scope; the other had a nice light-duty

ballhead. The entire setup weighed in at 2.8-

pounds! Not bad for a piece of equipment

with an almost 8-pound payload. I got the

white version, and it had a ni

ce clean finish

to it. After seeing it with the ballhead at-

tached, I think the black version would look

even cooler.The design was simple yet func-

tional. The only electronic controls were an

On-Off switch, a North-South tracking

mode switch, and a 1X-.5X tracking speed

switch. For alignment, it included a rotatable

base for azimuth adjustment, a geared pivot

point (with lock) for latitude adjustment, a

compass for rough alignment, a polar sight-

hole for finding Polari

s, and a spot to install

the polar scope. Finally, it had a detachable
