Equatorial mounts are an important tool for astronomers and astrophotographers alike, allowing for precise tracking of celestial objects. These mounts, which come in different designs such as German equatorial mounts (GEMs) and tilted fork mounts, cancel out the apparent movement of stars as the Earth rotates. That’s especially important for long-exposure astrophotography, where any movement […]
