Model: 3550
Authorized Distributor: Modern Telescopes – India’s Largest Telescope Store

Introducing the SkyGuider™ Pro, the next-generation camera tracking mount from iOptron. A market leader for nearly four years, the SkyGuider Pro refines everything astrophotographers love—precision, silence, portability, and flexibility—bringing wide-field imaging closer to perfection.

Designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, the redesigned SkyGuider™ Pro mount head delivers higher tracking accuracy, ultra-quiet operation, and integrated electronics, making it a must-have tool for astroscape and wide-field astrophotography.

Compact Design, Serious Performance

Despite its small size, the SkyGuider™ Pro is packed with professional features:

• Silent, smooth RA tracking—ideal for long-exposure imaging

• Built-in rechargeable battery providing up to 20 hours of operation

• ST-4 autoguiding port for improved tracking accuracy

• Camera shutter triggering port for automated imaging sequences

With the included DEC mounting bracket, counterweight, and Vixen-style dovetail saddle, the mount can easily handle heavy DSLR/mirrorless cameras with telephoto lenses or even a lightweight telescope, supporting up to 5 kg (11 lbs) when properly balanced.

AccuAlign™ Illuminated Polar Scope – Easy & Accurate Alignment

The SkyGuider™ Pro features iOptron’s AccuAlign™ dark-field illuminated polar scope, offering:

• Finely engraved, high-precision reticle

• Adjustable illumination brightness for varying sky conditions

• Compatibility with iOptron’s iOS polar alignment app for quick and accurate setup

Polar alignment becomes intuitive and reliable in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Multiple Tracking Rates for Creative Freedom

Adapt the mount to your imaging style with four tracking speeds:

• 1× Sidereal – stars and wide-field deep-sky imaging

• ½× Celestial – blended star + landscape imaging

• Solar – Sun tracking (with certified solar filters only)

• Lunar – Moon tracking

The 144× quick-slew mode (forward & reverse) lets you reframe your composition rapidly without losing alignment.

Field-Ready & Travel-Friendly

The upgraded removable Alt-Az base includes:

• Precision bubble level

• Fine altitude & azimuth adjusters

• Clear degree markings for latitude setup

For maximum portability, the mount head can also be attached directly to any standard photographic tripod using 1/4″ or 3/8″ threads. A padded carry bag is included for safe transport.
