Twilight I Adjustable Angle Alt-Azimuth Telescope Mount : Alt Azimuth Mount

The Twilight I is a light-to-medium-duty alt-azimuth mount and tripod designed to quickly and easily accept small to medium sized refractors, such as the AR102 or ED102mm, and of course, the ED80mm.

Lightweight, fast Newtonians will also match up nicely with the Explore Scientific Twilight I mount.

As long as your telescope does not exceed 18 pounds and has a Vixen-Style Universal Dovetail bar for mounting the telescope to the mount head, you are good to go.

The adjustable angle head can be tilted forward or back at a 45° angle to allow more clearance for your telescope so you can point it straight up for viewing at the zenith.

Slow-motion control cables are attached on the vertical and horizontal axes, and are easy to turn during the night, even with gloves on, due to the over- sized knurled knobs that are attached to the end of each cable.
