SUUNTO Compass A-10

A well-aligned mount is the first step towards a successful observing or imaging session. The Suunto A-10 provides a fast and accurate way to establish a reliable rough alignment, helping you point your mount in the right direction before beginning the finer adjustments of polar alignment. By getting close to the correct position from the outset, you can significantly reduce the time spent making adjustments and get to observing or imaging sooner.

The A-10 is made in Finland by Suunto, a company with a long heritage in precision navigation. Since 1936, Suunto has built its reputation on accuracy, robustness and reliability, making it a brand you can trust when you need dependable equipment in the field.

Compact and lightweight at just 30 g, the A-10 is easy to keep in your observing case and always ready when you need it. Its stable, fast-responding needle provides a clear directional reference without relying on batteries or electronics, while the built-in declination scale helps account for the difference between magnetic and true north.

For astronomers using equatorial mounts, the Suunto A-10 is a simple but valuable addition to the field kit. Get your mount rough-aligned in seconds, spend less time chasing polar alignment, and more time under the stars.
