TrackTheStars TTS-160 Panther - an altazimuth GoTo mount

The TTS-160 is a true revolution in mount construction. It is more compact than a mount of German design or a fork mount and carries much more. Vibrations are effectively suppressed by the short axes and the compact design. The TTS-160 is a mounting for the entire astro-life and can be used visually and photographically.

The advantages and features of the TTS-160:

Precise tracking also perfect for astrophotography - pin-point astrophotos even with long exposure times through the rotator.

Simple calibration of the GoT mount via 1- or 2-star calibration - then positioning and tracking can be performed

No troublesome turning from east to west after the meridian passage

Telescopes up to 20 kg are carried, such as refractors up to 175 mm aperture, cassegrains up to 11" aperture or Newtons up to 10" aperture.
