The Explore Scientific EXOS2-GT GoTo equatorial mount takes the guesswork out of finding objects in the night sky. Paired with the PMC-Eight electronics and a sturdy tripod, this computerized German equatorial mount can automatically slew to and track tens of thousands of celestial targets, making it a strong foundation for both visual observing and astrophotography.

An equatorial mount aligns with Earth's axis so it can follow the stars with a single motor — essential for long-exposure imaging. The PMC-Eight system adds WiFi and Bluetooth control through the free ExploreStars app on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Who it's for

Ideal for intermediate stargazers and aspiring astrophotographers ready to move up to a tracking GoTo mount. Not sure what to pair it with? See our guide on how to pick your first telescope.
