BRESSER Tracker StarTracker PM-100
Bresser StarTracker PM-100 – The Portable Star Tracker for Travel Astrophotography
Turn your camera into a real astrophotography telescope with the Bresser StarTracker PM-100 mount.
Compact, lightweight and incredibly simple to use, this equatorial mount compensates for the Earth's rotation so you can capture fascinating long-exposure images of the night sky, without the unwanted 'star trail' effect.
Simplicity and Precision for Nightscapes
Whether you're photographing the arc of the Milky Way, star clusters or bright nebulae, the StarTracker PM-100 ensures that your photos are extremely sharp.
The mount allows you to select Sidereal (1x) tracking speeds for total star tracking, or 1/2 Sidereal, ideal for astro-landscape compositions, where you want to keep both the sky and the foreground elements on the ground in focus.
Uncomplicated Polar Alignment and Flexible Operation
- Polar Finder Included: Alignment with the celestial pole (North Star in the Northern Hemisphere or Octant in the Southern Hemisphere) is done quickly thanks to the polar viewpoint with adjustable LED lighting.
- Global Versatility: Works in both hemispheres (North and South) with rotational direction switching
- Versatile Feeding: It can be powered by 4 AA batteries for total freedom in remote locations, or connected continuously via a Micro-USB (5V) port with an external power bank.
Who is it for?
- Photographers Ideal for those who want to photograph the Milky Way, auroras or meteor showers with the terrestrial element in the foreground. The 1/2 Sidereal speed mode allows you to keep both the sky and the Earth's landscape in focus and well defined.
- Beginners on a Budget: The perfect choice for those who want to take their first steps in long exposure astrophotography without making a large financial investment in complex professional equipment.
Light Camera and Lightweight Lens Users: Tailor-made for photographers using Mirrorless systems or entry-level DSLRs with lightweight wide-angle or fixed focal lenses (such as 14mm, 24mm, 35mm or 50mm), within the load limit of up to 2 kg.
Photographers Without Access to Power Grids in the Field: Great for those who do sessions in remote locations, as it works both with 4 standard AA batteries and powered by a simple power bank via Micro-USB cable.
