iOptron AZ Pro Mount GoTo Tri-Pier: alt-azimuth GoTo mount on Tri-Pier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron AZ Mount Pro is an alt-azimuth GoTo mount with a payload capacity of 15 kg (33 lbs). This version comes on the iOptron Tri-Pier, a pier tripod with a 100 kg payload capacity and vibration-damping feet. The combination is intended for visual observation with medium-sized refractors, Maksutovs, and Schmidt-Cassegrains up to approximately 9.25 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOptron calls the startup procedure Level and Go. You level the mount using the built-in bubble level and turn it on. The 32-channel GPS receiver and position sensors determine the telescope's location and orientation. The mount then slews automatically to a bright object; you center it and the alignment is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level and Go alignment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You don't need to know star names or coordinates. After leveling, the mount itself chooses a bright celestial body for alignment. A single centering step is sufficient to activate GoTo and tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Go2Nova 8407+ hand controller features an 8-line backlit LCD screen and a database of over 212,000 objects. Via the built-in WiFi, you can also control the mount wirelessly with SkySafari or iOptron Commander; ASCOM control via PC is likewise possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Internal battery and quiet motors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The built-in lithium-ion battery (11.1 V, 4.4 Ah) provides up to 10 hours of operating time at 20 \u00b0C. You can therefore observe for an entire evening without a separate power supply. Charging is done using the included adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stepper motors operate quietly and efficiently. The dual saddle accepts both Vixen and Losmandy profiles. The retractable counterweight shaft with the 4.5 kg counterweight keeps heavier tubes in balance; with the optional second saddle, you can mount a lightweight second telescope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tri-Pier as a fixed base<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Tri-Pier combines the rigidity of a pier with the leg adjustment of a tripod. The height is adjustable from 80 to 108 cm, and the feet feature integrated vibration dampening pads. You can set up the kit stably even on uneven ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transport, the mounting head goes into the supplied aluminum case. The head weighs 5.9 kg, making it easily portable for a mount in this class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
