WOW! I bet, this thing can track down hundreds of objects one night, incl. satellites too?


Nifty looking instrument.


I think, it's made for to track fast moving objects, satellites, planes, rockets etc...


Any decent mount should be able to track satellites, but not planes since they have no set course and some move a lot faster, if close. I suppose you could train it (if you have software to learn and follow a plane's course) but it would be fairly short for anything close-in.
