AP-11 + SmartAlign

The AP-11 + SmartAlign Bundle combines our compact equatorial mount with the dedicated SmartAlign module, creating a complete portable astrophotography system designed for fast setup and precise polar alignment.

The AP-11 is a lightweight equatorial mount weighing just 1.6 kg, with a payload capacity of up to 5 kg. Both axes feature a high 1:375 reduction ratio and are powered by oversized NEMA 17 motors, providing a robust drive system in an exceptionally compact and travel-friendly package.

With the included SmartAlign module, polar alignment becomes an integrated part of the AP-11 experience. Use SmartAlign with N.I.N.A. Three Point Polar Alignment (TPPA) as part of your computer-based astrophotography workflow, or perform polar alignment directly through the dedicated AP-11 app for iOS and Android for an even more portable setup.

Control and configure your AP-11 from your smartphone, complete your polar alignment with SmartAlign, and get ready to image—all within a compact, modular ecosystem designed for astrophotography in the field.

Like the entire AP ecosystem, both the AP-11 and SmartAlign are designed with modularity and repairability in mind, making components easier to access, maintain, and replace when necessary.

One mount. Integrated polar alignment. A complete portable astrophotography experience.
