The Vixen POLARIE Star Tracker ES35505 is a compact, portable motorized star-tracking mount designed for photographers who want crisp, star-sharp night-sky images without carrying a heavy equatorial setup. Simply mount POLARIE onto a standard tripod, attach your camera, align it to the celestial pole, and begin capturing long-exposure photos of the Milky Way, constellations, star fields, and night landscapes.
Engineered for travel, POLARIE is lightweight yet features a precise worm-gear system and multiple tracking modes to support both astrophotography beginners and advanced night-sky photographers.
