Equatorial mounts are the best type of mount for tracking stars and reducing star trails in astrophotography. They are designed to align with Earth’s axis of rotation, allowing them to compensate for the apparent motion of celestial objects as the Earth rotates. Equatorial mounts come in various configurations, including German equatorial mounts (GEMs) and fork mounts, each offering precise tracking and stability for capturing sharp and detailed astrophotography images.
