Of course, that’s also when meridian ips can be required with traditional German equatorial mounts. Meridian ips require you to stop imaging for a few minutes to reacquire your object, check your camera’s focus, and compensate for any detected exure. Autoguided long-exposure imaging heightens the need to plan around meridian ips.

With a Paramount Taurus™ equatorial fork mount, you’ll never need to perform another meridian ip. Its dual-tined fork provides exceptional stability for your instruments. And, if you enjoy visual observing, you’ll appreciate the far easier access to your eyepiece. Taurus equatorial fork mounts can shoulder between 150 pounds (68 kg) and 400 pounds (180 kg), depending on the model. While absolute digital encoders are optional with the gear-driven Taurus 400, they come standard with
