Overview

Embark on a delightful family astronomy adventure even during daylight with the 70 Refractor SolarQuest. Pointing directly at the sun can be challenging, and searching for it using a traditional scope view is like finding a needle in a haystack. Simplify the process by letting the SolarQuest on Heliofind Mount do the work for you.

SolarQuest provides a user-friendly and safe solution for sun observation, thanks to Sky-Watcher's innovative technology. The Heliofind mount is easily operated by anyone in the family. With a simple push of a button, the mount and SolarQuest will smoothly slew clockwise in the azimuth direction, locating the sun effortlessly. Even if the tripod is accidentally moved, restarting is easy, and the SolarQuest quickly reorients to find the sun.

This setup is ideal for beginners keen on observing sunspots, eclipses, and the transit of inner planets.

WARNING:
The SolarQuest mount is designed to work with the attached solar telescopes ONLY. Do not point other types of optical devices at the sun; looking directly at the sun without a certified filter will cause immediate and irreversible damage to the eyes or instrument.
