Altazimuth Mount Overview
Introducing the AZ Mount Pro
TM
altazimuth mount featuring "
level and go
" intuitive GOTO
setup.
We call it "level and go", the term used to describe iOptron new AZ Mount Pro's simple set up
routing. Using its built-in precision level indicator, the operator simply levels the mount and turns on the
power; this capable computerized alt-azimuth telescope mount takes it from there. Utilizing the on
board 32 channel GPS receiver and built-in position and angular detection sensors; the AZ mount Pro
calculates its global position as well as the telescope orientation. Automatically the mount slews the
instrument to an easily identifiable bright object in the night sky. The user need only confirm a bright
object is in the center of the view, to activate tracking and GOTO functionality.
