TTS-160 Panther Mini Pier

TTS-160 Panther from Track The Stars - Mini Pier

This mini-pier offers a lightweight yet solid base for the mount head, making the mount super portable for last-minute trips or quick peeks. It is especially suitable for the use with longer Newtonians, as height is less necessary in this case. To adapt the TTS160A Panther mount, you also need the pier adapter TTS160K.

TTS-160 Panther Telescope Mount - for the best stargazing experience!

Is your bulky telescope mount keeping you from doing what you love – stargazing under the darkest night sky?

Now there’s a faster and easier way to get your telescope to the darkest stargazing places!

The TTS-160 telescope mount is for amateur astronomers who are looking for precision, stability and convenience. Portable, stable and easy to use – it’s the perfect mount for stargazing and astrophotography.

TTS-160 is portable. Stargaze when and where you want.

Amazingly easy to carry – the TTS-160 Panther telescope mount is ideal for spontaneous viewing in the backyard, on holiday or far from the city lights.

The TTS160 mount has been designed for maximum mobility and convenience. The pier and mounting head fit into two small transport bags.

All the technology and delicate working parts are sealed inside smooth anodized aluminum cylinders, so dirt, dust and moisture stay out.

The streamlined, compact design also protects the mount from damage during transport or storage.

TTS-160 is stable. Enjoy precision tracking with a stable mount that’s built to last.

Incredibly solid and precise, the TTS-160 Panther telescope mount makes stargazing and astrophotography relaxing, easy and fun.

TTS-160 is fast. Spend more time viewing and less time getting ready.

The starry night is just minutes away. Fast set up, balancing and alignment save you time.

Built-in software is designed to handle any set up angle - no polar alignment!

There’s no need to level the mount, point the mount towards the north or polar align the mount. And you can setup the mount where you cannot see the pole star - e.g. close to the south side of a house to achieve the best protection against wind.

Simple, precise alignment makes viewing and photographing trouble-free:

The TTS-160 mount enables simple one or two star alignment – no time, date or geographic coordinates, polar alignment, or GPS needed.

Point the mount to one or two bright stars and alignment is complete in a few easy steps. You’re now ready to track the stars and take pictures.

The alignment procedure creates the necessary data for perfect control of the Telescope rOTAtor.

The TS-160 can be used for astrophotography!

Take crystal clear photos with “Exact Drive” high precision technology. A unique combination of a worm gear and a roller drive ensures optimal tracking performance

Short exposure stacking - the easy way to great results
The TTS-160 telescope mount tracks the stars accurately enough to make beautiful unguided exposures of the sky.

Take sharp, long exposure deep sky images with the TTS telescope rOTAtor
The unit integrates completely with the mounting’s control system and no extra power supplies or computers are needed. Rotates the entire optical tube assembly, thus enabling the use of piggybacked guide telescopes or imaging through piggybacked telephoto lenses.

You can observe and image objects uninterrupted from east to west.

Unlike German Equatorial Mounts that need to make a meridian flip when passing south, the TTS-160 Panther Mount can track completely from east to west for uninterrupted imaging.

The TTS-160 Panther telescope mount is modular and therefore flexible.

Use it with the telescope rOTAtor for imaging or without for visual observations, with the folding pier for refractors and short Newtonians or the mini pier for longer Newtonians. Change the weights for using heavier telescopes.
