Acuter Traverse Mount (Lifestyle Outfit)

Computer-controlled GoTo WLAN/Bluetooth astronomical mount with tripod

The impressively innovative Acuter Traverse Lifestyle mount is both an easily transportable, computer-controlled azimuthal GoTo mount for astronomy and a powerful mount for time-lapse photography with your smartphone.

With built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi interfaces, it is designed for use without an available Wi-Fi network and can be controlled wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet using the Acuter Sky or Acuter Landscape app for iOS or Android.

The Acuter Traverse mount with the Acuter Sky App enables fully computerized GoTo control of compact telescopes weighing up to 2.5kg. It allows you to automatically approach the more than 11,000 objects in the starry sky contained in the extensive database. After entering your location coordinates into the app, you follow a simple alignment procedure and are ready to explore the universe with the app’s intuitive touchscreen menu.

Using the Acuter Traverse mount with the included time-lapse and landscape kit allows you to take creative and inspiring time-lapse photos and videos with unusual and interesting perspectives and pans with your smartphone. The app gives you extensive control over the speed, recording time, panning angle and direction as well as the number of pans.
