Tele Vue Gibraltar Mount and Tripod

Our longer, heavier 4" scopes are best matched to the rock-solid Gibraltar mount. The thicker wood legs best handle the loads, especially for high power viewing. Sky Tour capable.

The Gibraltar tripods are finely crafted and American made in a choice of solid ash or walnut wood for beauty and quick vibration dampening. Leg extensions raise the tripod height to 5-feet, still ideally sized for use with our Air-Chair observing stool. An accessory tray ties the legs together for rigidity.

Owners of pre-2002 Gibraltar mounts must purchase the Gib Upgrade Kit (GUK-1001) to mount a Tele-Pod head sold separately.

Sky Tour

The Tele Vue Sky Tour computerized object locating system integrates seamlessly with our mounts to put 2,000+ objects within your grasp. Quick setup 2-star alignment allows observing fixed objects without fiddling with latitude, longitude, date or time inputs. Easy to use Guide mode shows you the direction to move the scope in order to center the selected object. Sky Tour adds R.A./Decl. digital position readout (resolution: 1' R.A, 0.1-deg. declination) to mounts.

For even more objects, Sky Tour can now interface with TheSky astronomy program from Software Bisque, Inc. through your PDA or laptop. Sky Tour can be ordered factory installed or added later as an upgrade.
