The Teegul Sky-Patrol III (TG-SP3) mount offers a light and effective equatorial base to travel with a small telescope.
The TG-SP3 is a very modular unit. It is made of a rigid one-arm fork mount motorized in right ascension axis, ideal for example for FS-60CB refractor. The handbox, integrating 6V compartment, is included.
An additional kit makes it possible to use the TG-SP3 with other light telescopes (under 3kg weight). This kit can be bought with the TG-SP3 mount as a package or in a second time, according to end user needs. This kit includes a counterweight shaft and a counterweight in order to transform TG-SP3 base into a true German mount. Using this kit will give you some clearance on both axis, RA and DEC, allowing the assembly of longer telescope OTAs.
