Explore FirstLight EXOS Nano Equatorial Mount and Tripod
$129.99
A Light-Duty German Equatorial Mount for Grab-and-Go Scopes
The Explore FirstLight EXOS Nano Mount is a light-duty German Equatorial mount and tripod built to quickly and easily accept small telescopes, from a compact Mak-Cassegrain or small refractor to a small solar scope or the ED80mm.
A sturdy 1.25-inch steel ST1 tripod with adjustable legs pairs with a true equatorial head, giving grab-and-go observers the tracking convenience of an EQ mount without the bulk of a full-size rig.
The mount accepts telescopes up to 15 pounds equipped with a Vixen-style universal dovetail bar, making it a versatile, portable platform for a wide range of small refractors, Mak-Cassegrains, and short, fast Newtonians.
