The Sightron Japan ALT-AZ Mount is a highly portable telescope mount with a maximum payload of 7kg and weighing only 1.45kg, ideal for small to medium-sized telescopes. Available in either black or silver anodising with a Vixen-style Saddle Clamp and two slow-motion handles, the mount has the advantage of operating in EQ mode, which, together with slow motion control, enables observation at high powers. The movements, both manually and with the slow-motion controls, are very smooth, making it an excellent grab-and-go option for astronomers seeking a stable and portable observing platform.
