It's called an equatorial mount! GAH!
Incidentally that setup they post a picture of looks pretty sketchy, looks like the counterweight will bonk the table if you expose for too long and you also have to move the table rather than the mount to point in another azimuth.
- helij 6y agoI don't see any issues with caling this mount a star tracker that precisely rotates your camera. It's Sky Watcher Star Adventurer and it tracks automatically. If you call it just EQ mount you have to add that it does automatic tracking ;)
