Omegon Twinmaster AZ Mount (without Tripod)

Omegon Twinmaster AZ Mount (without tripod): two instruments up to 13 kg per side

The Twinmaster is an alt-azimuth mount that carries two instruments simultaneously, each up to 13 kg. This allows you to combine even larger telescopes, for example, a 10-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain alongside a second instrument.

Two perspectives at once

Mount a telescope and a large pair of binoculars side by side. The telescope shows detail, the binoculars provide an overview. For exploring vast objects or star fields, that combination works better than either one alone.

Counterweight balancing

Two instruments of different weight throw the mount out of balance. With the 20 mm counterweight shaft, you bring both sides into balance. Please note: that shaft is not included.

Fine adjustment per axis

Both axes feature fine adjustment and manual clamps. This allows you to center an object accurately, even at higher magnification, without the second optic drifting out of view.

Included

• Altazimuth mount with dual Vixen mounting system
• Fine-tuning per axis
• Manual clamps

Featured accessories

This version is supplied without a tripod, and the 20 mm counterweight bar is separate. There is also a version complete with a stainless steel tripod.
