Visual Observations

The worlds best mounting for visual observations.

We believe our mounting design is the best you can get for visual observations. A number of individual advantages add up to make the mounting the greatest for visual observations:

  • The fast and easy way to the dark sky.
    For visual observations a dark sky is important. The TTS-160 mounting is designed for the easiest transport and the fastest setup. Just bring the two compact transport cases and you have everything you need for the mount. At a remote dark site setup can be done in 10 minutes.

  • Always perfect eyepiece position
    The movement pattern of the TTS-160 mounting means the eyepiece always stays in the optimal viewing angle. Whether you are using a single eyepiece or a binoviewer just adjust to the angle you prefer and it will stay there no matter where in the sky you are observing.

  • No meridian flip turning your equipment upside-down
    When German equatorial  mounts passes the meridian in south they need to swing the complete telescope around to avoid conflict with the pier (called a meridian flip). This process takes time, reduces accuracy and last but not least turns the telescope upside down leaving the need to adjust eyepiece position and any finder scopes. With the TTS-160 mounting all the sky can be observed with no need to flip anything.
  • A stable platform for all your telescopes
    The standard 3 inch dovetail saddle makes it easy to change between your telescopes. Switch between your high quality APO-refractor and your light gathering newton in few seconds.

  • Unique and easy to operate hand pad
    It is so easy and fast to operate the unique handpad. The roller knobs can be operated with gloves and in total darkness. No need to search for the right pushbutton – everything is ready at your fingertips. And of course the handpad will let you “goto” and track any object in the large internal object catalog very precisely.
