The Sky-Watcher HelioFind solar tracking mount is lightweight and ridiculously easy to use. No need to worry about aligning your equipment the night before or early in the morning. Using its patented HelioFind solar finder and built-in GPS, HelioFind automatically levels and calculates the azimuth and altitude of the Sun, all with the single push of a button. Once self-aligned, the mount locates and tracks the Sun for hours at a time. HelioFind is perfect for eclipse chasers, educators who teach science and astronomy during the day, or anyone fascinated with our nearest star.

Tired of wasting half the day not staring into space? Can’t wait until the Sun goes down to start your observing sessions? Need to fulfill those science curriculum standards for your classroom? Already planning your next total solar eclipse road trip? Nothing makes observing our home star as easy and engaging as HelioFind from Sky-Watcher!

You will need a small, dedicated Solar Telescope or small telescope with suitable Solar Filters attached.

Take the Sky-Watcher HelioFind outside on a sunny day, switch it on and it will automatically locate and point towards the Sun and then track it throughout the rest nest of the day. You don’t need to align it or carry out any more adjustments

Ideal for observing sunspots, planetary transits, transits of the International or Chinese Space Stations, and solar eclipses with a white light solar filter. Or, attach an H-Alpha solar filter and observe the surface detail of the Sun directly along with tracking the daily changes in stormy prominences, filaments, plages, and even solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

Can be used with any standard photographic tripod (not included)

Perfect platform for Meade Coronda PST or Lunt 40mm, Lunt 50mm H-Alpha scopes. 

SkyWatcher HelioFind Mount is designed for solar observation only.
