  • Tele Vue Gibraltar HD5 - Encoder Equipped

    The HD5 head is an inch wider than the Tele-Pod version, with larger bearings and cradle holes that accept the NP127 baseplate and every other Tele Vue scope.

    The Head

    The HD5 head is an inch wider than the Tele-Pod version, with larger bearings and cradle holes that accept the NP127 baseplate and every other Tele Vue scope.

    The Gibraltar HD Tripod

    Leg extensions raise the altitude axis to 5 ft, and a scale on the extensions lets you return to the same height. A wood accessory tray ties the legs together, a built-in pier allows high-altitude viewing, a bubble level is built into the tripod base, and metal ground spikes with rubber tips are provided.

    Pre-Installed Encoders

    Encoders are 2160-step, 0.167° (10 arcminutes) per step, pre-installed with the cables needed to connect a Digital Setting Circles computer (sold separately). On the HD5 the STS-5002 spacers fasten the azimuth encoder cover to the wider baseplate.

  • Which telescope is it made for?

    Tele Vue recommends the Gibraltar HD5 for the NP127is.

    What is the altitude range?

    +80° to -12°.

    What is the tripod tray made of?

    Wood; it ties the legs together for rigidity.

    Is a computer included?

    No. The encoders and cables are pre-installed; the Digital Setting Circles computer is sold separately.
