Telescopes are typically mounted on a tripod or a specialised mount designed for stability and ease of use. A sturdy tripod or stabiliser is essential for minimising movement and maintaining accurate positioning. For enhanced tracking of celestial objects, consider using star trackers, which automatically follow the motion of stars, planets, or the moon across the night sky. Explore our range of tripods and stabilisers to find the ideal base for your telescope.
To get the most out of your telescope, consider a few key accessories. Extra eyepieces or filters can help you achieve different magnifications and enhance your view of celestial objects. A telescope viewer or star tracker makes locating and following stars easier, while a protective case ensures safe storage. Don’t forget essentials like cleaning tools, which you can find in our accessories collection, to keep your telescope lenses in pristine condition.
A shaky telescope is often caused by an unstable mount, uneven ground, or environmental factors like wind. Ensuring your tripod or stabiliser is secure and set up on level ground is crucial for reducing vibrations. Additionally, consider investing in higher-quality tripods and stabilisers for better support. Using star trackers can also help maintain smooth tracking, even during long observation sessions.
