iOptron AZ Pro GoTo Mount with Tri-Pier

Just set it up: easy to use, simple, and quiet!

Thanks to integrated sensors, the AZ Pro automatically detects its position and slews to its zero position. It then pulls all relevant data from the built-in GPS and slews to a bright celestial object. Simply center this object in the eyepiece for a final, precise adjustment, and you are ready to go. This simple procedure begins immediately after power-on. There is no need to enter anything beforehand, nor do you need to know the name of the bright star the mount is moving toward.

Speaking of power-on: The AZ Pro features a built-in lithium-ion battery. So you don't need to worry about batteries or a power source. You can easily recharge the battery at any time using the included power adapter.

• Two optical tubes can be mounted in parallel: primary optic up to 15 kg and 4.5 kg on the counterweight side

• Database with over 200,000 objects, easy to use via the illuminated 8-line LCD display

The AZ Pro is the best mount imaginable for visual observers who want to be up and running quickly and easily. It is also well-suited for planetary photography. The compact design and relatively low weight make the AZ Pro very attractive as a travel mount as well.

The Tri-Pier tripod combines the load capacity and stability of a pier with the flexible adjustment and mobility of a tripod.

• The pier and the upper part of the legs are made of aluminum.
• The adjustable legs are made of stainless steel
• The leg feet are equipped with vibration dampeners so as not to transmit vibrations from other astronomers walking nearby.
