Time and again I speak to parents and children who tell me how frustrated they are that after finding Saturn in a beginner telescope they can get a good view of the rings because the mount is too shaky or the telescope controls too difficult to adjust. I hear many tell me that they tried once many years ago and now the scope is sitting in a closet collecting dust! Well it is Vixen Optics to the rescue! The Porta Mount is an easy to use, stable mount. It has the vixen dove tail connection to easily attach your telescope and smooth friction bearing up-down / right-left hand controls.

With this package, you will have access to over 14,000 stars, planets, nebula and galaxies. In an instant you can tell the SkyPod mount to move to any object listed and actually see the star field move on the built in chart in the hand controller. What I like most about this package is that I can start with a basic telescope to view the brighter celestial objects and later, when my desire or budget permits, I can easily demount the A70Lf and replace it with a variety of larger telescopes. The SkyPod works exactly the same way with all scopes. You don't have to buy a completely new packaget, like some other brands, just to grow your system!
