TeleVue Gibraltar Mount

TeleVue's Gibraltar Mounts are designed to complement their larger telescopes, such as the TV85 and TV102, providing the solid base that is essential to enjoy the full benefit of their outstanding optics.

On the left above is the basic Gibraltar Mount with walnut tripod, suitable for terrestrial use and experienced astronomers who can find their own way around the sky. The centre and right-hand images show the Gibraltar with Skytour system installed, with ash and walnut tripods respectively.

Skytour is extremely useful for those of us who don't know the night sky well and who appreciate the help of a friendly expert to find the best objects to view.
