Product Information

Do you already own a camera and want to capture stunning images of the night sky? The BRESSER StarTracker Astronomical Photo Mount PM-100 is perfect for you. Ideal for both beginners and experts in astrophotography, this mount compensates for the Earth’s rotation to keep stars sharp even during long exposures.

The built-in tracking motor precisely rotates the saddle-mounted camera against Earth’s rotation, ensuring pinpoint star shapes.

Adjust the pole height (latitude) with the video tilt head.
