Astrometric Instruments: Product Line

Pricing and Availability of Astrometric's Products

Presently we offer two complete control systems: the SkyWalker-Servo retrofit kit and SkyWalker1i. We also offer separate control system components, for use with our SkyWalker1 telescope and accessory controller, for adaptation to custom telescope mounts. For custom installations we can advise in the selection of components and assist in adapting our hardware to virtually any telescope mount.

Our SkyWalker packages and accessories are available directly from us.
