Product Description
The full-length Meade #884 Deluxe Field Tripod provides a rigid mounting platform for virtually any observing application, astronomical or terrestrial. Suitable for either standing or seated observing, the #884 Tripod is adjustable in height from 34" to 54". Micrometric controls in both azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (polar) angle permit precise polar alignment of the telescope's fork mount for astronomical applications. Elevation angle can be fixed at any observing latitude between 20 and 90. The 90 (altazimuth) orientation is desirable for terrestrial observations or for astronomical applications of ETX-90AT and ETX-125AT models equipped with the optional Autostar Controller, where fully automatic sidereal-rate tracking can be accomplished with the telescope in the altazimuth mode. Angled (Equatorial) mounting is useful for fully automatic tracking of celestail objects in Right Ascension. Each ETX Astro Telescope model attaches to the tripod in seconds with two thumbscrews. Net tripod weight is 11 lbs. Comes with custom-fit, nylon carry bag with strap, handles and inside-pocket for accessories.Computer controller shown not included. 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
