The MiniTower^TM II ... The next generation MiniTower.
... excellent portability GoTo Mount with encoders

The iOptron Minitower is the perfect GoTo altazimuth telescope mount, offering 25lb of carrying capacity and excellent portability. See The Review In The December 2008 Issue Of Sky & Telescope.

25 lb Payload. Born out of the popular iOptron Cube™, the MiniTower™ is the ultimate observing solution for people who want a portable GoTo telescope mount to counter urban light pollution and for air travel. With a payload of 25 lbs, a rock solid full-height 1.5” stainless steel tripod, metal worm and gears and two dovetail adaptors, the MiniTower™ is capable of handling the majority of telescopes. Its payload can be even further enhanced by more than 50% with the heavy-duty accessories.

For example, you can mount an 8" Schmidt Cassegrain, an 4" refractor, a 6" Newtonian or even a 6" Maksutov Cassegrain telescope.

Accurate GoTo and Tracking The MiniTower^TM II has the same advanced SmartStar^® GoTo technology as the original-- but with enhanced encoders and firmware. The MiniTower^TM II hand controller offers a superb navigation experience with an 8 line LCD back-lit display, an over 120,000 object database and a USB port for easy connection with ASCOM compliant PC planetarium programs. With a typical GoTo accuracy of 1 arc minute and the GoToNova^® precision auto-tracking, the MiniTower^TM II will consistently bring the celestial object of your choice to the center of the eye-piece and keep tracking for hours.

Highly Portable. With all the standard components (excluding the tripod) packaged in an alloy metal case, MiniTower™ can easily be carried around in a car trunk or as an airline luggage. The whole system is quick to assemble. This ultra-portability, combined with the internal GPS receiver, lets you take your minitower anywhere.

Additional Unique Features. Powered with other features such as automatic over-current protection, automatic clutch protection for both axes, easy 3-point level adjustment, dual scope setup with two dovetails and much more, MiniTower™ is one of the most user-friendly GoTo mounts available today.
