The Orion StarSeeker IV features a cylindrical leg stainless steel tripod that adjusts in height for comfortable use.Įach StarSeeker IV telescope is powered by 8 internally stored AA batteries. A quick-release narrow dovetail saddle makes telescope attachment nice and easy. The StarSeeker IV GoTo mount with its slanted, single-arm altazimuth design provides attached telescopes with 360° of azimuth motion and 90° of altitude motion for horizon-to-zenith pointing. Moving the telescope manually will not require a re-do of the GoTo alignment. This fourth generation StarSeeker telescope features dual optical encoders on each axis of motion which allow you to move the telescope tube either manually by hand, or electronically by using the directional arrows on the SynScan Pro app. One great feature is the “Tour” mode which identifies the best objects visible at the time you’re observing and will lead you right to them. A novice stargazer will quickly learn how to explore the heavens with this mount and app in just a couple of sessions. Once you select and locate an object from one of the SynScan Pro app’s object menus, the Orion StarSeeker IV will automatically track the object’s motion across the sky to keep it in your instrument’s field of view. The free SynScan Pro app offers a database of over 10,000 deep-sky objects. The SynScan Pro app is available for iOS and Android devices. The mount is now offered with or without the SynScan Hand Controller to both save money and let you control your telescope wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet using the free SynScan Pro app. The included Orion StarSeeker IV GoTo Mount offers object location system that makes finding celestial objects in the night sky easy and fun. Featuring multi-coated 80mm wide-field refractor optics (f/5), this compact telescope delivers sharp views of the Moon’s surface, the planets, and bright deep-sky objects. Changing from 3D tracking to another mode is a button+wheel turning affair (or pressing on Sonys selector wheel) when the cameras are set up correctly. Since tracking-stop would be a discrete button press (possibly a reprogrammed AF/MF lever), the basic always-tracking interface would always be there.The Orion StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor offers the ease of motorized object-location technology and optical performance at low price. My Nikon D7500s 3D tracking works exactly the same as my a6400: Half-press the shutter to activate tracking, release it, it stops. With the latter behavior you COULD replace all of the fixed focus point controls with an intuitive option for the fixed point modes that acquires the subject at some arbitrary position in the frame, then tracks it as you recompose - then with a button click it would STOP moving the targeting reticle and begin whatever fixed point mode you wanted - single point, adjacency aided, zonal. Primarily because when you stop tracking, it reverts to frame center instead of just stopping. It is true that Sony has figured out how to replace most every AF-mode with a subject-tracking interface that can usually stick to what you tell it to, not just go directly to the face.Ĭuriously, with all of this there's one thing that it doesn't do well, and that's target-and-recompose. Kudos to the Calgarians for a nice, easy to understand setup video.
