Tele Vue Eyepiece Caddy Plate

Enhance your Tele Vue Mount with the fantastic Sky Tour computer to help you find your way around, and with the eyepiece caddy to keep your favourite eyepieces to hand!

Tele Vue Sky Tour Computer

Set-up and equipment operation are kept to a minimum



The Sky Tour system uses the Lorenzin 2000+ database - a collection of interesting and observable double and triple stars, bright and dark nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and coloured stars most suited to Tele Vue telescopes!

Once Sky Tour is aligned, enter the catalog mode (there are nine 'modes' used to describe all the functions) and choose an object you want to view. The guide mode shows you the direction to move the scope in order to find the selected object. Simply move the telescope by hand until the vertical and horizontal displays read zero, and you're there!
Finding over 2000 objects is a simple as that!
