Portable equatorial mount for wide-field astrophoto



We are pleased to introduce you this portable equatorial mount for wide field astro-imaging with up to 200mm telephoto lens.

The mount itself weights approximately 1.5kgs, without any ball head and tripod. Original set only comes with the mount itself, single axis drive w/hand controller and battery compartment. The motor is run by 12V battery. This mount is named Peter Pan EQ mount, by Taiwanese renowned astrophotographer Mr PK Chen. He had used the mount for star test and proven of the performance.

I understand a picture tells thousand words. However, I would like to post a local taken celestial image than others. Please be patient and will upload when the astrophotos are available taken by this mount.

This is trully a portable mount for season travelers who love to capture starry night. With this mount and 2 units of wide angle lens for milky way band would be significant. For a mountain climber cum star lover, this would be one of the loading stuff in the bagpack!

Peter Pan EQ mount is currently available at our store. The set is exactly the same as the display picture on the right top.
