The Star-Raker |

| A Parallel Motion Binocular Mounting | ||

|
The sheer splendour of the night sky viewed in large aperture binoculars is an experience few will forget.
Used with a good-quality pair of binoculars and a full height tripod, the observing comfort of the Star-Raker
makes exploring the sky at night a pure pleasure.
Ideal for group viewing: One of the main benefits of the "parallel motion" design of the Star-Raker is that the mounted binocular or telescope retains the same angle relative to the ground for any change in observing height. It sounds complicated but this means you can centre a target in the eyepiece and simply move the perfectly balanced binocular vertically up or down to the height of the next viewer, and the target will still be perfectly centred - even for children! The Star-Raker uses a retained counterweight system to allow it to be quickly balanced for use with a wide range of instruments. From large binoculars (up to 3kg with standard weight - more with other weights available separately) to small telescopes and spotting scopes. The Star-Raker must be mounted on a suitable tripod and it has a base that can be attached to photo-tripods using a 3/8" BSW fitting screw. Please note, you will need a specific clamp to suit your particular type of binocular or telescope. See below for details. |

Tripod Mounting Brackets for Binoculars |
|||
There are a range of binocular mounts suitable for all standard 1/4" BSW tripod fittings, and
the Star-Raker binocular mount.
The AC347 (pictured top) is a thin 13mm-wide stem mounting suitable for many of today's slim-line roof prism binoculars.
The AC348 is as above but with a thread specifically for the Meade and Bresser 9x63 Astro binoculars. AC349 (pictured btm)
has a stem 18mm wide, is the standard model bracket and is suitable for most common models.
The AC363 (not pictured) has a 30mm wide rising stem and is suitable for heavier 80 and 100mm Binoculars.
AC364 (first from right) is a 30mm bracket with a horizontal fixing deck, and is suitable for all larger binoculars
with their fixing boss located underneath rather than at the front of the binocular. All the above brackets will
fit the Star-Raker binocular mounting.
