Vixen POLARIE Step-Up Kit II – Upgrade Your Star Tracker for Deep Sky & Telephoto Lens Astrophotography (ES35534-SO)

Turn Your POLARIE Into a More Capable Astrophotography Tracker

The POLARIE is a great entry-level star tracker for wide-field shots, but heavier cameras, telephoto lenses, and longer exposures push it to its limits. The Step-up Kit II addresses all of that: a multi-mounting base and dovetail slide bar increase the payload capacity to 6.5kg, a fine-adjustment head gives you precise polar alignment control, and the included PF-L II polar scope makes accurate alignment straightforward using a 3-star method.

The result is a more stable, better-aligned POLARIE setup capable of handling demanding telephoto nightscapes and deep-sky targets.
